From the beginning of time, we humans have shown infinite curiosity about ourselves. We have wondered about and researched our beginnings, our end and innate survival instincts. In this week’s Fast Facts, the quote of the week comes from the Greek philosopher Socrates (470 BCE – 399 BCE). In this quote, Socrates says we need to look outside ourselves, indeed to the enormity of the skies, to gain a perspective of the universe we inhabit. In reverse and of equal significance, is the study of the mind – our inner world. This week, deputy editor Leigh Robshaw has gone to the University of the Sunshine Coast’s Thompson Institute to report on a first of its kind, five-year study delving into the brain development of 12 to 18-yearolds. Studies such as these are extremely complex. In this article, we introduce you to
some of the teenagers taking part in it and why they’ve chosen to give up their time. It’s an interesting story that will likely have far-reaching results. Ms Robshaw’s story reflects and celebrates how we on the Sunshine Coast, through supporting our university, are also making valuable contributions on a worldwide scale. However, this is just one branch of our community. This week, Lisa Rowe, the quiet achiever behind Wishlist, is recognised by her colleagues for 20 years of dedication to her job. Along with this, renowned radio identity Caroline Hutchinson gets us in the swing of giving back with her ‘Give me 5’ story and Kim Edwards (this week’s profile) gives 5 with a donation of one her internationally recognised photographs. Enjoy. Gail Forrer gforrer@myweeklypreview.com.au

WINTER
warmers
Here’s a way to beat those winter blues. Get into the kitchen and cook up some delicious heart-warming food. This week we share with you classic winter recipes from Kim McCosker, author of 4 Ingredients and creator of recipes that you and every other member of the family can easily put together.
PULL US APART Ingredients • 1 round cob loaf • 1/2 cup soft butter • 1 clove garlic crushed • 2 spring onions trimmed and thinly sliced • 3 cups (200g) sharp cheddar cheese shredded • 16 slices spicy pepperoni • fresh parsley chopped, to garnish
SLOW COOKER PUMPKIN SOUP Ingredients • 1 kg pumpkin peeled and chopped • 2 small onions peeled and chopped • 1 litre vegetable stock • ½ cup cream
To find more recipes go to: 4ingredients.com.au
Method 1. Place the pumpkin, onion and stock in the slow cooker. 2. Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours, until pumpkin is soft and cooked through. 3. Cool for 10 minutes. 4. Using a stick blender, blend until nice and smooth. 5. Stir in the cream. 6. Season to taste and serve. Optional: Sautéing the pumpkin and onion first in a little extra virgin olive oil creates a slightly richer flavour.
Method 1. Preheat oven to 180°C. 2. Cut a grid-like pattern into the top of the bread, stopping about 1cm from the base so that it sticks together but pulls apart easily. 3. Place the bread on a baking tray. Harmoniously blend the butter, garlic and spring onions. 4. With your fingers, separate the folds of the loaf, evenly distributing the moist, yellow butter into all its seams. 5. Then stuff the seams with cheese and red rounds of hot pepperoni. 6. Wrap in foil and bake for 10 minutes. 7. Remove from the oven, open the foil and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted, bubbling, oozing and golden. 8. Stand for 5 minutes then sprinkle with parsley or fresh thyme to serve.

FAST FACTS
Cosmic history.
The first recorded supernova – a star that has collapsed in on itself – was observed in China in AD185. Nearly 2000 years later, astronomers at the Utrecht University in The Netherlands identified the burnt-out remains of that same star.
Did you know? The Milky Way has grown by merging with other galaxies through time. It is currently acquiring stars from a very small galaxy called the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal, as well as gobbling up material from the Magellanic Clouds.
The Life. Be in it campaign. The ads would make gentle suggestions to people to do simple exercises like tossing a frisbee or taking a dog for a walk.

FEATURE STORY
Inside the teen brain The University of the Sunshine Coast’s Longitudinal Adolescent Brain Study has reached a major milestone in its groundbreaking research on teenage brains. WORDS: Leigh Robshaw.
T
eenagers get a bad rap. Moody, lazy, rude, addicted to screens… Wouldn’t it be great if we knew what was going on inside their brains? Thanks to a world-first study at the University of the Sunshine Coast’s Mind and Neuroscience Thompson Institute, we’re learning more about those adorable, sleepy humans each year. USC brain scientists are gathering data on what makes teenagers tick and it wouldn’t be possible without a group of teens who are giving up their time – and handing over their brains to be studied – over a five-year period. Professor Daniel Hermens, deputy director at the Thompson Institute, is leading the groundbreaking Longitudinal Adolescent Brain Study (LABS). The study is tracking brain development throughout its most dynamic phase of adolescence, through regular brain imaging and psychological and cognitive assessments. There are other longitudinal studies on adolescent brains in progress, but they usually only see their subjects every two years. LABS is the only study of its kind that brings teens into the institute every four months for five years, allowing researchers to gain a better understanding of how the brain changes from the ages of 12 to 18. It can be mission impossible getting a teenager to commit to putting their dirty clothes in the laundry basket rather than throw them on the floor, so persuading them to give a day every four months for

five years is no easy feat. But Prof Hermens and his team are aiming to recruit 500 teens to take part in the study and the first cohort of 20 recently reached the halfway mark. “It has just been amazing,” says Prof Hermens. “At the midpoint, we present them with an image of their brain and write a little note on the back thanking them for their time and giving them feedback about how much we appreciate their involvement. By this stage, they have had more than eight brain scans and other assessments and the chances of them getting to the end is that much higher. “They are chuffed. They sort of smile and realise they are contributing. You can see their sense of altruism. It’s so rewarding and their parents are very proud of them. I tell them, if it wasn’t for people like you, this study couldn’t be done.” The teens work with a research assistant or a PhD student at the Thompson Institute to answer questionnaires and complete cognitive tests that measure things like memory, decision making and reaction time. They also have brain scans and an EEG. The group who have been in the study for two-and-a-half years are now at time point eight, which means they’ve gone through this process eight times and have seven more to go. “We need to have outcomes along the way and we need to keep funding the study and reporting back to the Commonwealth government,” says Prof Hermens. “We look
“They smile and realise they are contributing. You can see their sense of altruism” Professor Daniel Hermens, USC
at a whole range of things, like the relationship between different structures in the brain and psychological distress. “The very first paper was about how the hippocampus, a very important part of the brain for learning and memory, responds to stress. It’s interesting to see how it responds to psychological distress in 12-year-olds, because it happens to a much greater extent in adults with depression. “Our most recent study found that increased psychological distress in early adolescence was most affected by unhealthy eating, followed by low
social connectedness, then decreased physical activity.” The researchers believe that by tracking the brain during adolescence, they will gain a deeper understanding of the factors that impact mental health in adolescence and intervene before they reach adulthood, when it can be more difficult to take corrective action. Prof Hermens says he is also in discussions with USC Associate Professor Dr Michael Nagel, who specialises in neurological development in children and teens, to study the effects of screen time on young brains. “We recently met and are going to collaborate on this issue,” says Prof Hermens. “He did a talk recently saying the jury is out, we don’t know the effects of screen use because most studies are cross-sectional. I said, ‘LABS can answer that question’. We’re going to add some questions about screen time exposure and see if there are impacts on the brain for those with low or high screen time.” There are now a little over 100 adolescents taking part in LABS, which means the team is a fifth of the way towards reaching its recruitment goal of 500. Prof Hermens says there is an 85 per cent retention rate and they are seeking more participants.

your brain is growing and changing and if we know what’s going on and how you can help mental health in adolescence, it can prevent it when you’re an adult. Also, mental health can really affect adolescents as well as adults; seeing what goes on in their brain and how different activities affect that can be pretty helpful.

A fundraising campaign at the University of the Sunshine Coast will help support more students and assist researchers in making a positive impact in areas from mental health to conservation. USC’s fifth annual G-Day encourages locals to donate in the area of their choice, including student support, mental health and conservation. Pro Vice-Chancellor, Professor Joanne Scott says in previous years G-Day supporters have changed the lives of 150 students through bursaries. “Many students in difficult financial circumstances are trying so hard to balance paid work with their studies and these bursaries give them the support they need to not give up. This year, G-Day is also raising much-needed funds to transform lives through mental health research and services at USC’s Thompson Institute and protecting our iconic animals through the Detection Dogs for Conservation and koala vaccine programs.” While the day was celebrated on May 26, donations are open until June 30.

ONE HUNDRED With Queensland reaching a grim milestone of 100 lives lost on the state’s roads since the start of the year, the Queensland Police Service has reminded motorists to slow down and consider risks during the recent National Road Safety Week. Since January 1, 100 people have died as a result of traffic crashes in Queensland – 21 lives more than the same time last year. Road policing command, Acting Chief Superintendent Ray Rohweder says this “grim” milestone is a timely reminder to all drivers of their responsibilities while on the road. It comes as recently, a 56-year-old Maroochydore man was allegedly caught driving with a breath alcohol concentration of 0.205.
Mulga the artist with Matthew Flinders students
PLAYGROUND GETS ARTISTIC INJECTION The primary playground at Matthew Flinders Anglican College is even more vibrant, colourful and playful thanks to renowned Australian artist Joel Moore, also known as Mulga. Mulga is known for his unique Australian creations and signature style of intricate line work and bright colours. He visited Flinders as artist in residence in May to paint a large-scale art mural and mentor students from Prep to Year six. Head of primary Trudi Edwards says the college is delighted to finally have Mulga on campus after the mural, to commemorate the college’s 30th anniversary in 2020, was postponed. “We are simply thrilled with the playful manner in which Mulga has captured the spirit of our college in this artwork,” she says. “The resultant mural truly celebrates our 30th anniversary and honours many aspects of our culture, environment and history.” The mural features local native plants and birds as well as citrus trees and Erol the emu, a resident at the college’s on-site farm.
NICKI THE ANACONDA SLIDES INTO NEW HOME SLSQ SURF WOMAN OF THE YEAR Eliza Dreves from Metropolitan Caloundra Surf Life Saving Club is the winner of Surf Life Saving Queensland’s 2021 Surf Woman of the Year. Over the past 12 months, the Sunshine Coast local has attended more than 100 activities and events, reached 3000 people with surf safety messaging and held five fundraisers for her club. Jessica Appel from Coolum Surf Life Saving Club was announced runner-up and highest fundraiser, generating $48,071.51, which will directly benefit lifesaving services and member development at her club. The annual program has now raised more than $17 million since its inception in 1964.
Australia Zoo has welcomed its newest resident, Nicki the 11-year-old green anaconda. The green anaconda is a semi-aquatic boa species found in South America and is one of the heaviest and longest snake species in the world. “Female anacondas grow to be significantly larger than males and have the capacity to reach lengths of over eight metres and weigh more than 200 kilograms,” Australia Zoo’s Nick Kuyper says. It took 12 months to design and construct Nicki’s new Chandler Powell with Nicki habitat, created to replicate tropical the green anaconda at South American forests. Australia Zoo

Lisa Rowe most ambitious project yet. Wishlist events and fundraising manager Lisa Wilson says, “To be at an organisation or company for over 20 years is unheard of these days, and Lisa continues to inspire and achieve amazing outcomes for patients and their families. “The reality is, we will never really know how many lives have been changed or positivity impacted by the purchase of a life-saving ventilator or a piece of equipment to treat cancer, or even the value placed on having a parents’ retreat for a tired mother with a critically ill child. “We will never know how many patients have benefited from the millions of dollars Wishlist has directed to our local public hospitals, but we do know that Wishlist would not be what it is today without Lisa. “Her commitment, drive and dedication to what she sets out to achieve is outstanding and our community is so lucky to have her.”

t’s June. The crew at 92.7 Mix FM just broke into a sweat. For 22 years, Mix FM has dedicated the month of June to raising money for sick kids and their families. In that time, the radio station has raised more than five million dollars in its Give Me 5 campaign. That money has been donated to Wishlist for lifesaving equipment, services to comfort sick kids, accommodation for their families and even stuff to keep their siblings occupied. Over 22 years we have bought ventilators, beds for parents to sleep next to their children and installed a decent coffee machine in the parents’ kitchen. We built the Child Development Service from scratch and bought the block of land for the new Wishlist House. Most recently, GM5 put a bed and bathroom next to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. It’s a gift to parents fighting to keep their brand-new babies alive, who refuse to leave the hospital, even for a shower. I don’t know how much we’ll raise this year, but I know people believe in Give Me Five. You trust us with your money. The motivator for the Mix FM crew is always the families we meet along the way. This year, our ambassador is the amazing nine-year-old Lucas Bennett. Lucas has William’s Syndrome and Chiari Malformation William’s Syndrome. Children with Williams are known to be the friendliest people on earth because of an inbuilt need to be social, friendly and endearing. They need medical care for cardiovascular problems, global developmental delays, learning difficulties, small stature, low muscle
Caroline Hutchinson, breakfast announcer tone, delays in gross and fine motor skills and excessive worry. Lucas is Mix FM’s biggest fan. This year has been tough for Lucas, spending time in hospital with a serious food aversion, resulting in a naso-gastric (feeding) tube and therapy to reintroduce solid food. If you listen to the radio this month, you’ll hear a lot about Lucas and his other ‘frequent flyer’ friends at the hospital, and lots of creative ways to help them. Trust me, you are going to love Lucas. If you want to help, you can buy outside broadcasts, beautiful artworks, tickets to lunches, kids events, trivia nights and you can even join us on a month-long craft brewery tour. – By Caroline Hutchinson

ishlist CEO Lisa Rowe recently celebrated 20 years of service with the not-forprofit health foundation, which has raised an enormous $18.7 million for local public health services. From humble beginnings fundraising from a demountable building at Nambour Hospital, Wishlist is now one of the Coast’s leading charities, directing more than $1 million each year to medical equipment and infrastructure upgrades, research, hospital accommodation, support services and health staff scholarships. When Ms Rowe first started as the fundraising coordinator in 2001, the charity was known as the Sunshine Coast Health Foundation and only employed two staff. Now, Wishlist’s main office at Sunshine Coast University Hospital is a hive of activity, with 13 part-time and full-time staff, plus an army of volunteers. The charity also operates two cafes, a gift house and two accommodation facilities. Ms Rowe was surprised by her team last Friday with a ‘milestone party’ at the McDermott Aviation hangar. “What a surprise and it was kept secret by so many wonderful, busy people who took the time to attend,” Ms Rowe says. “I am so grateful to have played a part in the work of our charity for 20 years and I look forward to the next.” And the next chapter is looking even more promising with their latest multimillion-dollar project, Wishlist Centre, on the horizon to provide a circle-of-care to those experiencing a health crisis. What started as Ms Rowe’s idea – a seed of thought – has blossomed into the charity’s

BUSINESS & FINANCE
Chris Harris, Ord Minnett Buderim.
EQUITY MARKET RECOVERY The equity market struck a milestone recently, as the one-year forward earnings per share (EPS) estimate on the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 Index returned to its pre-COVID-19 level. This recovery is mostly due to estimates in the mining-dominated materials sector surpassing their previous highs – think BHP and Rio. Earnings in most of the other sectors are improving but are yet to recoup all of their falls. So, what would the market look like if those sectors did recover their falls? The yardstick – the one-year forward EPS estimate for the S&P/ASX 200 index is based on aggregating analysts’ earnings forecasts for each individual company in the benchmark index. In mid-March last year, the estimate
was for the index to generate EPS of about $380 per share over the next 12 months. The pandemic subsequently saw this estimate fall nearly 20 per cent to a low of approximately $307 per share. Today, that estimate has recovered to where it was prior to the pandemic. What drives it? A closer inspection of the data shows an interesting picture as to what is actually driving that recovery. If we look at the major sectors – consumer discretionary, healthcare, industrials, financials and materials – which make up 75 per cent of the S&P/ASX 200 Index, we find that the materials sector has been the main contributor. EPS forecasts there are now approximately 40 per cent above where they were in March last year. This is no surprise given base metal prices are at multi-year highs and iron ore prices are at record levels – circa $US200 per tonne. Not as strong, but also back to pre-pandemic levels, are earnings estimates for the consumer discretionary sector (think JB Hi-Fi and Supercheap), driven by government fiscal stimulus measures and booming sales at household goods retailers and online stores during the pandemic. Outside the major sectors, earnings forecasts for the consumer staples sector (think Woolworths and Coles)
have also been relatively resilient. On the other hand, for most sectors, either there has only been a modest recovery in earnings estimates, with earnings still short of where they were pre-pandemic (for example financials, communication services, healthcare, industrials and REITs), or earnings estimates have continued to fall (for example energy and utilities). From a ‘value’ investors point of view, it is these underperforming sectors that offer the most upside potential. In summary, if we assume all sectors (barring those already at pre-pandemic levels or higher) regain the drop in earnings during the pandemic, the one-year forward EPS estimate on the
S&P/ASX 200 Index could rise to nearly $400 per share. If the market can continue to trade on a P/E ratio of 18 to 19 times, it would support a higher S&P/ASX 200 Index level of up to 7200 to 7600. For the time being, we maintain our 6700 to 7300 target range, but highlight the potential upside if earnings trends continue to improve and, as discussed previously, we remain upbeat on Australian equities.

yellow submarine is set to blow Sunshine Coast tourism out of the water as it showcases the marine wonders off Mooloolaba from a whole new perspective. DownUnder Submarines Pty Ltd is making the final touches to a $2-million refit of Australia’s first tourist submarine, the $3-million SUBCAT-30, which is sure to be an eye-catching addition to the flotilla of vessels on our coastal waters. Company founder Andrey Alexeenko says the first above-surface promotional tours of the Brisbane River would be held in July, before the SUBCAT arrived at its new home, based at Rockliff Seafoods on Mooloolaba Spit, in August. He is confident underwater tours will be introduced from September for Coast residents and visitors, once further data collection, safety drills with the Mooloolaba Coast Guard, and initial above-surface tourist cruises have been completed. The 65-tonne SUBCAT, which is 19.5 metres long and six metres wide, is expected to carry 27 passengers, two highly-trained tourist submarine pilots and a customer service host on each dive tour, which will go for an hour and 40 minutes. Once it has met all federal Australian
Maritime Safety Authority and State Government requirements, the sub, which can descend to 30 metres, will take passengers into a jaw-dropping world of corals, reef life, marine creatures, Old Woman (Mudjimba) Island and possibly the ex-HMAS Brisbane wreck. “It is the only type of passenger submersible in the world that is a hybrid submersible,” Mr Alexeenko says. Family passes, early morning and mid-week specials and discount offers will welcome the yellow submarine’s arrival. SUBCAT-30 will be available for charter for weddings, special functions and corporate events. Bookings are now available for the first Mooloolaba one-hour above-surface cruises and the Mudjimba Island dives atdownundersubmarines.com – Full story at sunshinecoastnews.com.au.

PROFILE
Woman of the world Thanks to the closure of global borders, international community development worker Kim Edwards has had an unexpectedly long stay on the Sunshine Coast, but that doesn’t mean she’s standing still. WORDS: Gail Forrer.
I
n three decades, Sunshine Coast resident Kim Edwards has visited and/or lived and worked in 101 countries. She has moved around the globe for a variety of reasons, but at each stop, regardless of her mission, she has sought to look beyond the surface to find a deeper picture of the people and their culture. Certainly, Ms Edwards hasn’t been one to focus on the uncomplicated or just beautiful, instead she says, “I am a ‘yes’ person”. “If I see an opportunity, an open door, I jump in. It’s probably my greatest strength, and weakness.” In December 2019, Ms Edwards packed her bags, farewelled her friends and headed to the Abu Dhabi airport for a flight to Australia. She was in high spirits. It was eight years since she had spent Christmas with her family on the
Sunshine Coast and she had plenty of good news to share with her two daughters, four grandchildren and father. The holiday was planned to coincide with the completion of Ms Edwards’ job as Vocational Dean at an International language school and before beginning her new position as director at a prestigious regional chain of American schools. “It was a great job, and I was really looking forward to it,” she says. Ms Edwards’ international career started while on holiday in New Zealand when she accepted a job offer to work at a guesthouse in Cypress. Looking back, she says, “From the first day I arrived, I fell in love with the Middle East.” This emotion began and sustained her decades-long commitment to community development, from working with Syrian refuges to overseeing the distribution of
building materials in Northern Iraq. Following Cypress, Ms Edwards went to work for non-government organisations. “In 1980 I was in Beirut during the civil war,” she says. “It was really intense; we were right in the thick of it. There were car bombs. It was horrendous.” The work she did there included distributing food to orphans. She calls it a “powerful encounter” but remembers the resilience of the people and the heroic acts they carried out to keep each other alive. That experience mirrors many of her future jobs. However, she says her toughest time came as she managed development teams in Northern Iraq, during the aftermath of the first Gulf War. For three months she supervised international
teams distributing building materials, constructing water wells and organising logistics. Back home on the Sunshine Coast, in 2003, Ms Edwards co-founded an English college that became one of the region’s most awarded language schools, conducting training in 27 locations in 17 countries. In 2012, the college was sold, and she returned to work full time in the Middle East. Since the 2019 Christmas holiday, Ms Edwards has remained on the Sunshine Coast. She has resumed her triathlon training, a sport she began at 58 in Saudi Arabia, and is again doing community development work. This month, Ms Edwards has donated one of her photographs to the Mix FM children’s charity Give Me Five for its annual charity auction. The Give Me Five charity auction has raised more than $6 million over the past 23 years. The photograph was captured during Ms Edward’s trip through the Sahara Desert in Western Morocco. The 92.7 MIX FM’s Give Me Five art auction is being held on Tuesday, June 8 at the Maroochy Homemaker Centre from 6pm. It is a free event and all artwork on display will be auctioned on the night.

hinking about what the Caloundra of the future might look like? The proposed Community and Creative Hub (CCH) will create a community public space precinct linking The Events Centre, new District Library, Caloundra Regional Gallery and a new town square through to Bulcock Beach. In November last year, Council asked the community what they valued and visioned for the CCH. The community told Council through a series of community pop-up sessions, an online survey and engagement forums to keep it green, keep it unique, change the way we move, improve how we navigate and increase the number of events and creative interests. It’s time to test what Council heard and to check ‘Have we got it right?’ when asking for the community’s values and visions, to check if the

Draft Concept Design is what you pictured. The draft concept design creates green public spaces in Felicity Park and provides for pedestrian-friendly streetscapes on Omrah and Otranto avenues, connecting the new town square to the main street. In addition, it captures active street frontages including shops, cafes and businesses, which will also make the CCH diverse and vibrant. CCH is part of the Caloundra Centre Activation Project, which seeks to revitalise and activate the Caloundra Centre area as envisaged by the Caloundra Centre Master Plan, adopted in March 2017. The Sunshine Coast is one of the fastest growing areas in Australia as it continues to deliver a healthy, smart and creative region. It is projects like CCH that will attract more residents and visitors to the area, thanks to its
natural beauty and the relaxed lifestyle. You can view the design at a series of pop-up sessions and speak with a Council officer in person or view the information and provide your feedback online before 22 June. Visit Councils ‘Have Your Say’ webpage for details.
Community Pop-Up sessions: • 28 May – 5pm to 9pm: Twilight Markets, The Esplanade, Caloundra • 30 May – 8am to 1pm: Caloundra Street Fair, Bulcock Street • 6 June – 3pm to 7pm: Lightning versus Firebirds Netball Game, USC Stadium • 18 June – 4pm to 8pm: Currimundi Lake Twilight Markets, Currimundi • 20 June – 8am to 1pm: Caloundra Street Fair, Bulcock Street

Council has commenced the process of developing a new planning scheme that will help to guide the future development and use of land in our region for the next 10 to 15 years. The Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme is an important tool that assists Council plan for the increasing number of people who will choose to live here. Our Council recognises the future development of the region is important to our residents and stakeholders. We want to ensure there are genuine opportunities for the community to have a say on matters which are important to them as the planning scheme is developed. That is why our Council is establishing a community reference group to provide input and guidance to Council about the best ways to engage with the community during preparation of the new scheme. Expressions of interest are now invited from those interested in joining the New Planning Scheme Community Reference Group (CRG). We want a community reference group that is diverse, representative and inclusive of communities across the Sunshine Coast.

Locally owned business Epicurean Products recently created a mixed berry compote
RECIPE FOR SUCCESS A Yandina-based food manufacturer has just announced a multimillion-dollar expansion. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.
A
Sunshine Coast-based fresh sauce maker has celebrated its 1000th flavour and has no intention of slowing down with the recent announcement of a multimillion-dollar site expansion to allow for continued company growth. Based in Yandina, Epicurean Products – known as EP – supplies bespoke dressings and sauces for many well-known national brands, with a particular focus on the premium convenience sector. The locally owned business was founded 11 years ago. Now around three million Australian households consume EP’s fresh sauces every year, mostly found
in fresh meal kits sold in supermarkets and online. To meet growing demand, EP founding director Tim Spence Thomas recently announced a $2 million site expansion to the existing factory that will house a state-of-the-art steam cooking facility, a revamped customer kitchen and additional cold storage. “The investment will enable EP to expand its product range and increase annual output to around 40 tonnes of fresh sauces per day, whilst maintaining quality,” Mr Spence Thomas says. Recently releasing it 1000th flavour, a mixed berry compote, the expansion will allow EP to produce more flavours in the
future as well as employ more local staff. “We currently employ 56 temporary and permanent staff,” Mr Spence Thomas says. “In the last 12 to 18 months we’ve employed an extra 12 to 15 people and we expect that to continue.” Mr Spence Thomas says over the years the business has adapted traditional manufacturing practices to ensure it can meet the needs of a convenience sector. “Our complex manufacturing system is designed to respond to a national supply chain that works in real time, supplying customers who want more quality and choice delivered much faster. “We believe customised fresh food is the future and EP is building the systems to support it.” Brands contact EP who then work with the client to develop a dressing or sauce to fit specific requirements, before manufacturing and packaging the product ready to be sent direct to the retailer, client or meal manufacturer. Mr Spence Thomas says EP has developed its “fresh for longer technology” to increase the shelf life of some products by up to 100 per cent without using preservatives or additives, allowing products to stand the test of time for customers who supply Australia-wide. “We are a food manufacturer, but we are also a technology business, and underpinning that technology is a significant amount of research and development,” he says. “We employ around three food scientists, so quite a lot of our focus, while we make beautiful food, is making sure the dressings are fresh.” EP received a state government Made in Queensland grant 18 months ago that went towards investment in flexible manufacturing and packaging technology. In an effort to become more
sustainable, EP has also invested in a large solar system for its Yandina factory. “Today over 35 per cent of our sauces are powered by the sun and we’ll achieve over 85 per cent by 2022.” Furthering the push for sustainability, the business recently achieved Australian Certified Organic accreditation and has expanded its range to support a growing demand for plant-based and vegan sauces. Mr Spence Thomas says as part of this, EP sources fresh ingredients throughout the local region and none of its products use additives or preservatives. “Although food science and technology plays an important role in our business, our primary mission is to make great food using fresh Australian ingredients wherever possible. “In the last 12 months alone, the business has invested millions back into the Queensland economy, including partnering several local primary producers.” Over the years customer favourites have included Thai green curry, mango and chilli, classic hoisin sauce, vegan Caesar, chipotle mayo, parmesan ranch, miso vinaigrette and yoghurt and chia flavours. The factory expansion is due for completion by the end of winter. Visit epicureanproducts.com

The first Pups in the Park was a success for the Aura community and its furry friends
PUPS IN THE PARK A HIT WITH POOCHES More than 150 people and their fourlegged friends attended Aura’s first Pups in the Park event earlier this month. Residents met at Baringa Dog Park on May 16 for a 1.5-kilometre loop through the Aura community. The morning included the opportunity for participants to have a professional portrait snapped in front of a customised pooch-themed photo wall, and there were free dog leads, dog washes, puppuccinos and donuts handed out.
More than 260 coffees and puppuccinos were served on the day and 74 dogs were washed, with feedback from the community overwhelmingly positive. It is estimated 70 per cent of residents in Aura own a pet and since opening in December last year, the fully fenced dog park in Baringa has become a popular place for Aura’s dogs to exercise and socialise. The park also includes separate spaces for big and little dogs, agility equipment and grassed areas.

Indigo was one of 10 St Andrew’s students who participated in the World’s Greatest Shave Ten brave students at St Andrew’s Anglican College recently raised more than $24,000 for the Leukaemia Foundation as part of the World’s Greatest Shave. Year nine student Indigo was motivated to shave her hair after losing her grandfather to cancer last year. “It was my way of showing my gratitude for my health and a way that I can raise money to help the families of those with cancer and the people with cancer themselves,” Indigo says. She raised more than $1800 and says the nerves and excitement of shaving her hair was worth it for the result.
“I told myself as I sat down on the chair for my head to be shaved that whatever the outcome was to be, I have raised $1835.59 and that is enough to help at least someone. “After the shave I have found myself continuously forgetting I had no hair, so when I would go to flick my ponytail or stroke my hair, I would get a little flash of surprise when all I would feel is my prickly head.” A much-loved teacher also auctioned off his man-bun, raising more than $1000, while the remainder of the college participated in a crazy hair day fundraiser.

ON WITH THE SHOW The Maleny Show is back this weekend and organisers promise a fantastic event. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.
L
ocals are expected to flock to the Maleny Show this weekend as the hinterland’s best in agriculture and entertainment goes on display at the Maleny Showgrounds. Monster trucks and fireworks, horse and cattle events, cooking competitions and dagwood dogs ready to be devoured are all part of the line-up for the event on May 28 and 29.
Maleny Show Society secretary Lois White says the committee has been working hard since February to make this year’s show a reality. “As soon as our COVID-safe plan was approved in February we decided to go ahead with it to give all of our competitors a chance to compete in the things they haven’t been able to for such a long time,” Ms White says.
“We see ourselves as a genuine community service for many community groups to get involved in, such as Rotary, Lions, CWA, cricket and tennis clubs, and people young and old to have a wonderful time. “This year all pavilion sections such as photography, woodwork and cooking categories can be entered online, and across two evenings we’ll have the monster trucks, KC’s fireworks, plus novelty horse and car events.” Sunshine Coast Council community portfolio councillor David Law is encouraging residents to show their support and pre-purchase tickets online. “Sunshine Coast families are very fortunate to have the opportunity to enjoy the Maleny Show this year and it will certainly be one not to be missed,” Cr Law says. Tickets to the Maleny Show start at $5 for children and $15 for adults. Parking on site is limited so visitors are encouraged to use the free shuttle buses from the Maleny Historical Village and Maleny State High School running from 8am until late. Disabled parking is available on site. Visit malenyshowsociety.org.au
Hamish Procter Kawana Chamber of Commerce president
May is Queensland Small Business Month, and the Kawana Chamber of Commerce would like to thank all of its small business members for the role they play in the Kawana business community. We have such an incredible community of businesses in our region and in May the Kawana Chamber of Commerce showcased a handful of its local success stories. To celebrate Small Business Month, we hosted a breakfast at The Lakehouse Sunshine Coast on May 26, where we heard from a panel of owners who have grown their businesses with success through passion and perseverance. I would also strongly encourage all local Kawana businesses to have their say on the Sunshine Coast’s Mass Transit Project survey. The project will have significant impacts for our region, and the council needs feedback from our business community. You can find the survey through the council’s website, or through the Kawana Chamber’s social media channels.

MY OPINION
Jane Stephens is a USC journalism lecturer, media commentator and writer.
INCLUSIVITY IS NOT ALWAYS FAIR Progressive and inclusive it may be, but fair it is not. New Zealand weightlifter Laurel Hubbard is set to become the first transgender athlete to compete at the Olympic Games. And that is a travesty. By way of context, Ms Hubbard, who is 185 centimetres and competes in the 87kg+ category, transitioned from male to female eight years ago. The 43-year-old had been a male weightlifting competitor and lifted 300 kilos in her twenties. Her body was built as a man. It was fully formed and settled in as a man before she transitioned to a woman. That makes her inclusion vastly unfair. By allowing this athlete to compete as a woman, another woman will miss out. And the push to be inclusive should not trump what is fair. Of course, Ms Hubbard is entitled to identify as a woman, a change no doubt forged in pain and struggle. But competing in a power sport against female-born women is another matter. Ms Hubbard will be the oldest female Olympic super heavyweight ever. The next oldest was a 35-year-old from El Salvador in 2008. Women are simply not usually able to
compete in top-class power sports at age 43. Their bodies don’t allow them to be competitive. Yet this month the New Zealand Olympic Committee confirmed that Ms Hubbard is their girl for the super heavyweight class, a decision made after the International Weightlifting Federation amended its qualifying criteria. Ms Hubbard has been eligible to compete in the Olympics since 2015, when the IOC ruled that a transgender athlete could compete as women as long as their testosterone level was below 10 nanomoles per litre for the 12 months before competition. By comparison, the AFL’s rules on this require less than five nanomoles per litre for a transgender woman to play. Women in the general community have levels far lower. But testosterone levels are not the only measure of the differences between men and women. Men have greater bone density, more and stronger muscle fibres, greater lung and heart capacity. They are built for physical advantage. The inclusion of transgender athletes at this pinnacle of sport is part of an expansive shift. In 2019, guidelines were issued to Australian sports clubs that encouraged all clubs to allow participants to decide which team or sport to join based on their gender identity and not their biological sex from birth. And now the Olympics will have its first transgender competitor. This is not about inclusivity, but about fairness. It is not just about hormone levels, but about the level of the playing field. But to draw on George Orwell’s Animal Farm, when it comes to athletes, evidently some are more equal than others.

VOICE COUNCIL-PLANNED TRAFFIC CONGESTION The following relevant facts to make an informed decision are omitted from the council’s transport survey but are spelt out in the draft options analysis report (April 2021): 1. The proposal capital cost is an eye-watering $1.5 billion. 2. The aspirational usage of public transport is 10 per cent and this will only be achieved by changing the planning zones on Nicklin Way to allow high-density housing. 3. 70 per cent of travel will still be by private vehicles. 4. Congestion on Nicklin Way will not be resolved, as current lanes will be lost to the mass transit proposal. Council should instead lobby the governments for: 1. Improved rail links to Brisbane. 2. Improved local bus services that meet the needs of residents as the current model is clearly not working. 3. Building of CAMCOS-alternative arterial road to relieve congestion on Nicklin Way. 4. Improved traffic flows on Nicklin Way by co-ordinating lights, replacing some lights with mini roundabouts, allowing left-hand turns when safe to do so, and constructing slip roads at major roundabouts. 5. Since the state government is determined to push more people on to the coastal strip, the
Email: letters@myweeklypreview.com.au Post: PO Box 6362, Maroochydore BC, QLD, 4558 council should suggest this growth be accommodated by an expansion of the Aura development. Chris Godfrey, Wurtulla
LIGHT RAIL UNREALITY The talk about light rail becoming a reality seems strange after the completion of a multi-level carpark. Just look at the recent addition of the rail line to Redcliffe and try to get genuine patronage figures to see value in this multibillion-dollar project. Also, those LOUD buses that burn through suburbs could be replaced with smaller mini buses. Next time you see one of those monsters, count the number of passengers and it’s easy to see why car is king. Tadeusz Pieniek, Buderim

NRL MINUS THE MAGIC
LET THEM EAT TOAST
Ashley Robinson reckons getting too strict in NRL isn’t just going to scare off parents of kids who want to play – it will scare fans away too.
Sami Muirhead says the cooler weather means one thing: toasties. Here she shares some hot tips on how to make a top toastie.
f you are like me, a massive lover of rugby league, I am wondering what you thought of the Magic Round in Brisbane a couple of weeks ago? In my mind, they managed to take all the magic out of it with a blitz on high tackles, which became farcical as the weekend went on. I am all for cleaning the game up, and all for wiping out deliberate foul play. But let’s just have a look at what has evolved this year. Firstly, they bring a six to go rule which I like, but referees seem to get on the back of the team with momentum and go crazy. Players trying to defend three or four repeat sets like a game of touch. So what you get is fatigued players who lose their technique, which normally would be a penalty not sin bin, reported or sent off. How did this happen? Well, a few weeks ago during a Roosters game, the officials made some bad calls – or in fact, no calls at all – which should have meant they get the sack and the game moves on. Enter Dictator – sorry, ARL Commission chair Peter V’Landys – who declares he is going to clean the game up for all the mums and dads worried about their kids playing rugby league and the circus began.
I am not talking about shoulder charges and deliberate foul play. I am talking about the video referee reviewing everything and finding so-called foul play bloody everywhere. So with the judiciary being busier than the Ethics Committee at Parliament House, and now parents will be worrying whether the game is too rough? Haven’t we learnt from rugby about getting too technical and losing grassroots support? Instead of talking about magic footy
“There was some magic in the Magic Round, but it made stuff disappear” after eight games at Suncorp, all they could talk about was the refereeing. There was some magic in the Magic Round, but it actually made stuff disappear. It made players disappear off the field. It also made close scores and contests disappear. If they aren’t careful, the fans will also been gone.

t is officially winter and that means it is officially toastie weather. Cold weather brings with it all sorts of new dishes for our family to ponder pigging out on when it comes to packing on the pounds and keeping the body warm and the soul nourished. I argue there is no greater comfort food than the humble toasted sandwich. It is the triple threat of snack food: reliable, easy and comforting. I think most of us have tips on how to create a tops toastie. Aussie rocker Jimmy Barnes this week gave the entire country the priceless gift of his wife’s toasted sandwich recipe. They are releasing a cookbook later this year and this was a little morsel drip fed to us before the big release date. Jimmy and Jane like their toasties to have compté cheese and hot English mustard smeared on the white slices of goodness. I turned to my mate Kim McCosker, who just happens to know a thing of four about cooking. Yes, THAT Kim who has published 389,573 cookbooks under the 4 Ingredients banner. Kim’s toastie tip is a game changer. The mum of three boys
spreads a little grated parmesan cheese on her slabs of bread before toasting them. “You just have to make sure the parmesan cheese goes on all the corners of the bread and then when you take that first bite it tastes the same as Sizzler
“In our family, I like to make our toasties with the thick, posh ham” toast”, says the clever cook. Don’t mind if I do, thanks. Gourmet Traveller magazine has just released its list of 21 top toasties and the range is very fancy, from cheese croque monsieurs to truffle jaffles. In our family, I like to make our toasties with the thick, posh ham. I do not touch that thin cheap stuff I use for the school lunches. Sorry, kids! I add a stack of cheese and pineapple to the ham and voila – you have the poor man’s pizza in a bread pocket. I know. Genius.

EDUCATION FEATURE
A HEALTHY IDEA Kawana Waters State College offers an innovative medical education program to students right around the state.
W
ith the establishment of one of the largest hospital infrastructure projects in the southern hemisphere at Kawana Waters State College’s doorstep, fuelling a strong health employment sector on the Sunshine Coast, it was a no-brainer to establish a Health Education Unit at the school. Since its inception in 2017, Kawana Waters State College continues to grow as a leading educator in the field of health delivery. Multiple simulation wards with state-of-art technologies and dual-
qualified teaching professionals in the fields of nursing, pharmacy, medical insertion specialist and midwifery is only part of the success of the Health Education Unit. In 2020, a relationship was established between Kawana Waters State College and North Rockhampton State High School regarding the delivery of a remote service. Because Central Queensland was experiencing a significant deficit in health-care workers, Kawana Waters State College inaugurated the Rural Health Education Program, whereby 21 students
from North Rockhampton State High School engage in online learning, using the college’s staff. From 2022, students from a further five schools in Central Queensland will also receive National qualifications from the Health Education Unit. “For students on Queensland’s Central Coast to receive a quality health education at a substantially reduced cost is an incredible opportunity and a stroke of genius,” North Rockhampton State High School deputy principal Amanda Pearce says. The success of the program is due to the highly committed and networked stakeholders and partners in the program. Additionally, Kawana Waters State College will provide a differentiated suite of modules catering for the growing disability sector. The introduction of Certificate III in Individual Support will foster entry-level pathways to employment in community services and health sectors – an area with a considerable workforce gap. Extending the Health Education Unit is the Medical Immersion Program. The program offers a three-day camp for students interested in medical professions, such as dentistry, physiotherapy and medicine. Students will be immersed in real-life medical experiences and connect with likeminded students. Kawana Waters State College’s head of secondary, Elly Gerbo, says, “Providing a program that exposes students to high-end medical professions and supporting them in their academic career and personal development is long overdue.”
Applications for the Medical Immersion Program open for all Coast students on May 27. To find out more email Elly Gerbo on egerb1@eq.edu.au.

S
TEPS Pathways College has been a trailblazing service in the Sunshine Coast region for four years. Offering young adults with disabilities and autism the chance to lead independent lives, the program has had immense success. STEPS Pathways College is building upon these essential skills by helping students with another common barrier – employment. To help their students learn and practice essential workplace skills in a safe and supported environment, the college has recently built the fully functional Cafe on George at their Caloundra campus. The cafe only employs STEPS Pathways College students, who learn under a specialised trainer and cafe manager. If a student chooses to undertake the program, they have the chance to learn how to make coffee and

sandwiches, serve customers, take orders, and maintain kitchen hygiene. Karen Caldwell, the training manager of STEPS Pathways College, says that the program aims at ensuring students have options in their future careers. “The experience we provide at STEPS Pathways College is about providing choice,” Ms Caldwell says. “Through empowering our students, we are teaching them to live without limits. A large part of this is giving them the skills to choose employment that fulfils them and values all that they have to offer. By gaining these skills, our students can be more confident in their ability to be strong and worthwhile employees.” The program has been purpose-built to give the students transferable skills that will help them secure their first role post-college. STEPS Pathways College has already seen success in this regard, with one of the college’s recent graduates using her food preparation and hygiene skills to gain employment at the Cheesecake Shop and Woolworths. Beyond workplace skills, the program also helps students practise essential social skills in a realistic but supportive environment. One student, Chad Bridgman, has been working one day a week in the program but has already seen immense change in himself. “I have gotten better at a lot of things, and I’m far more confident in doing them,” Chad says. “Before I started at the cafe, there were a lot of things that I didn’t think I could do. Now, having done them and excelled, I feel confident in pursuing a job in a cafe after I leave STEPS.” “I know I can be a valuable employee.”
STEPS Pathways College is now taking enrolment enquiries for its Boarding, Day, and Online deliveries. If you or someone you know is interested in taking advantage of available enrolments, contact the STEPS Pathways College on 5458 3000.

LEVELUP INDEPENDENT LIVING SUPPORT WORKER MAKES WAVES ON THE RADIO Here at Your Best Life, we love a good news story. And we love it even more when the story comes from our clients. Recently Salt 106.5 ran a campaign called Happy Mates Month. This requires people to phone the radio station and talk about someone who inspires them. The nominee then has a chance to win a $200 gift card. This campaign prompted Clinton, one of LevelUp Independent Living’s support workers, to nominate his amazing client and good friend, Allan. Back in 2019, Allan was in an accident that caused spinal damage and paralysis. He now uses a wheelchair for mobility and requires full assistance for every aspect of his life. The team at LevelUp Independent Living provides Allan’s in-home supports and is always looking to go above and beyond client expectations. Clinton phoned the station and made big radio waves in relating Allan’s story. Clinton went on to say that Allan’s washing machine had broken and needed replacing. He also told listeners that Allan was a top bloke who needed a hand. What happened next really does warm your heart. The radio station had an influx of local listeners who phoned in offering to help Allan. One generous listener offered to buy Allan a new washing machine. Others offered to donate money. Allan’s brand-new washing machine arrived last week along with an additional $400 that had been donated. Clinton’s thoughtfulness in advocating for Allan went above and beyond his role as a support worker. And the generosity of the Salt 106.5 listeners is humbling and inspiring.

The family faced new hurdles when Nick left school and started a job he loves, three days a week. With both parents working and no public transport available, the family relied on a hit-and-miss patchwork of help. Until they found Carers That Drive. “We first heard about Carers That Drive from a friend who used the service,” says Gina. “As parents of a young man with a disability, it’s a relief to know that he is supported right up until the moment when he is accompanied to our front door.” In 2009 Suzie Coghlan was juggling caring for elderly parents, and an adult daughter with a disability, while working. She saw the need for a personalised service to help people get around and maintain their independence. So Suzie established Carers That Drive. Today, this unique service operates on the Queensland Sunshine Coast and throughout New South Wales, matching caring, qualified drivers with people of all abilities from all walks of life.

Communicating well is the key to a satisfying week. But Mercury is in retrograde mode until June 22, so don’t get carried away and exaggerate your ability to contribute. It’s much better to under-commit and over-deliver.
If you expect planned projects to proceed at a cracking pace, you’ll be sadly disappointed. Mercury is in retrograde mode until June 22, so everything will take longer than expected.
Mercury is retrograde, so avoid making important decisions, as your thoughts and feelings will fluctuate during the week. The more you express the artistic and humanitarian sides of your personality, the less confused you’ll feel.
With Venus vamping into your sign until June 27, it’s time for charismatic crabs to sparkle and shine. Confidence is high (especially on Monday, Thursday and Friday) as you initiate a personal project or activate a creative joint venture.

You’re keen to make some serious changes that could lead to more job satisfaction in the future. But Mercury is reversing through your work zone (until June 22), so avoid putting all your eggs in the career basket. Love and friendship are just as important.
This week’s stars encourage your obsession with perfection. But Mercury is retro, so things won’t run smoothly. If you adapt to changing circumstances and accept mistakes and misunderstandings with good grace, you’ll manage fine.
This week, the planets shine a bright spotlight on your relationship with a child, teenager, lover or friend. Remember that Mercury is retrograde. If you don’t pay close attention to what other people are saying, you’ll get your wires crossed.

AQUARIUS (JAN 21-FEB 19) Neptune and retrograde Mercury conspire to scramble your financial antennae. It’s not a good week to borrow funds, make investments or lend money to others, because you’re liable to make fiscal decisions based on confusing information.

COAST MARKET STANDS OUT FROM THE CROWD Property analysts say infrastructure spending on the Coast is driving interest in residential property. WORDS: Tracey Johnstone.
Kings Beach Caloundra
W
hile some residential market observers are talking about a slowdown in city property selling activity, the Coast has its own momentum, according to Hotspotting property analyst Terry Ryder. It’s due in no small part to the strength of the Coast’s economy and the ongoing infrastructure spending. “It’s all a part of the transformation of the economy from being a tourist economy
to one that has much greater diversity and strength to it, and new people coming to work in those new sectors,” Mr Ryder says. Increasing property stock demand, attractive lifestyle and more affordable living, and low mortgage rates are continuing to drive the market up, not down. The Coast selling and price figures are still very strong, Mr Ryder says. “Nothing has changed that would create a slowdown. The trends that have been driving us to this
point are very much in evidence.” And now investors are returning. The ABS recently reported the value of national new investor lending rose by 12.7 per cent over March 2021 to $7.8 billion, a rise of 54.3 per cent through the year. “To date, with most markets around Australia, it’s been very much driven by owner-occupier, first home buyers,” Mr Ryder says. “Investors are coming back into the market which will give further impetus to price rises by creating more competition.” What continue to be missing, and consequently adding price pressure, is the lack of sufficient properties for sale coming onto to the market. “One thing that could take the heat out of price rises would be a much higher level of properties for sale,” Mr Ryder says. “We haven’t really seen that as yet, even though the numbers have indicated an increase in properties for sale, but not enough to keep up with demand from buyers.” The buyers are literally “snapping” up properties says Mr Ryder, well before the many marketing campaigns have run their course. He believes there are a multiple other
Hotspotting property analyst, Terry Ryder market forces that are driving the residential market upswing, not just stock and interest rates. Even mooted small changes in interest rates won’t have a significant impact. If, and when, there are several and successive interest rate rises by the Reserve Bank, Mr Ryder expects the current momentum may slow down. “The Coast has a future well beyond what is currently happening and continues to be a strong regional economy and a strong property market as a result,” Mr Ryder says.

P
urpose Real Estate was Queensland’s first social enterprise real estate agency and is still the only one of its kind on the Sunshine Coast. Being a social enterprise means that 100 per cent of surpluses from the real estate agency go back into the community to provide more affordable housing on the Sunshine Coast. Although Purpose Real estate operates like any other real estate business, there are
some differences. One is a shared accommodation property managed by the organisation, which provides rooms for women over 55. Some of these women were facing homelessness due to the current housing rental crisis but are now in safe, affordable accommodation. Purpose also manages over 40 properties approved under the National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS).
Birtinya is one of the coast’s most sought-after areas, and this home does not disappoint. Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this home epitomises quality and luxury living. North facing, this modern home offers beautiful views and a great location all in one. Set over two levels, you are welcomed by a thoughtfully designed and quality constructed home completed to a high finish. Other great features of this home are the 5.3kWh solar panels and Tesla Powerwall. The gardens could be removed with ease to house a caravan, boat or trailer. A property like this won’t last, so come and experience the magic for yourself.

PALMWOODS 74 Cheviot Road Set on just over 6 acres of pristine land, this contemporary residence and organic farm really does have it all with established fruit trees, inground pool, dam, and even your own chipping green! With picturesque country-style living on offer, interest is anticipated to be high.

YOUNG AUSSIES BUILDING THE ‘RIGHT-SIZED’ DREAM
T
he Great Australian Dream of buying a home is alive and well among young Aussies, with first time buyers driving demand for low maintenance homes like townhouses and terrace homes. With young Australians seeing home ownership as a marker of independence and an assurance of security for their future, ‘rightsized’ homes are allowing first home buyers a foot in the property door while still having spare change and time to prioritise their lifestyle. Embarking on his first foray into the property market, 22-year-old digital creator Mackenzie (Macca) Reardon (pictured) says Harmony by AVID Property Group (AVID) was incomparable when looking to purchase his first home on the Coast. “Harmony was everything I was looking for – the best option for me, my budget and my lifestyle right now, but I could also see it suiting me well into my late twenties and early thirties,” Mr Reardon says. “I work full-time and spend all my free time outside venturing around, so the low maintenance and affordability aspect of the terrace homes made it hard to go past. “When you’re looking at buying your
first home, you feel like you have to sacrifice certain parts of your life to be able to maintain your new home as well as the general mortgage repayments, but the minimal upkeep of my home allows me the freedom to own my own home without sacrificing my business or social life. “After renting at Harmony for about a year, I was eager to purchase my own place here. Its location suited my lifestyle perfectly – 10 minutes from the beach, a
quick trip on the motorway to work, and it’s close to the hinterland. “Some of my mates’ parents have built here also. It’s a peaceful community, with a lot of nice people and with so much still to come – I can see a strong future here.” Having released 72 new terrace homes just last month, AVID general manager Queensland Bruce Harper, says 90 per cent have already sold out. “The surge in enquiries speaks to that
need to have a low-maintenance life with the added benefit of easy access to fantastic community amenities and open spaces – that’s the beauty of rightsizing,” he says. “These terrace homes are designed to take advantage of Harmony’s vast community spaces, parks and natural outlooks – Harmony is their own backyard and that’s why a variety of people, from young adults to empty nesters, choose terrace home living. “We also work with builders who tailor their designs to make the most of the Queensland weather, incorporate natural lighting, airflow and most importantly entertaining spaces into the homes – it’s about meeting lifestyle needs. “Macca is just one of many buyers who have been attracted to our terrace homes here at Harmony – with many choosing this style of home due to the minimal up-keep required, which allows residents more time to focus on what’s important to them. “Providing a range of housing option is important to us because our community has been designed to cater for people and families of all ages from singles and first home buyers to growing families, downsizers and rightsizers.”

CYCLING EVENT RETURNS TO COAST
LIGHTNING & STORM HELP HOSPITAL PATIENTS SMILE
A
fter last year’s event was cancelled due to COVID-19, the Noosa Classic cycling event will return this August to elated
riders. This year’s event will attract cyclists from around the country with new challenges and routes winding through some of the Sunshine Coast’s scenic rural
towns. The addition of the Gyndier Drive Hill Climb will bring a fast-paced challenge set to test the limits of the cyclists. Participants can also choose from the 120km Challenge Classic and 160km Maxi Classic routes as they ride through the Noosa Hinterland and surrounding areas of Tewantin, Imbil, Kandanga, Cooran and
PROMISING UP AND COMER’S FIRST WIN Bailey Arnott of Caloundra shot two-over par 71 at the Maleny Associate Pro-Am last Monday. The impressive round was enough to score Arnott his first win on the trainee pro circuit. Arnott who is a member at Caloundra Golf Club had plans to travel to the US to study and play golf before COVID-19 stopped him in his tracks. Now a number of strong finishes has seen Arnott making a name for himself in trainee tournaments throughout Southeast Queensland. The tricky Maleny course was no match for Arnott’s exceptional stroke, defeating Luke Parker formerly of Maroochy River Golf Club and Cody Davis of Surfers Paradise in third. myweeklypreview.com.au

Sunshine Coast Lightning were joined by the Melbourne Storm to brighten the day of Sunshine Coast University Hospital patients last week. Maddy McAuliffe, Phumza Maweni and Peace Proscovia, and Storm trio Harry Grant, Dale Finucane and Tui Kamikamica spent time in the children’s ward as well as visiting First Nations patients. McAuliffe says she feels privileged to be out in the community and at SCU after being restricted in 2020 due to COVID. The midcourter says throughout her five years at Lightning, she has shared many special moments with patients at the hospital, The integration between Lightning and Storm while they are based on the Sunshine Coast will see a number of joint activities and community visits between the teams. “It’s great to have the Storm boys up here for a bit,” she says. “We’ve got some activities over the next couple of weeks to really make sure we make the most of that connection with the Club.” - Sunshine Coast Lightning
BRISBANE MAKES ‘FINAL SUBMISSION’ TO HOST GAMES Last week, a remote meeting was held over three days, during which Brisbane 2032, the Australian Olympic Committee and Paralympics Australia were supported to finalise their plans, in order to make a ‘Final Submission’ to the Future Host Questionnaire in the coming weeks. Three levels of government supporting the project took part with presentations from leading political figures including Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and Lord Mayor of Brisbane, Adrian Schrinner, with Prime Minister Scott Morrison joining by video message. The remote assessment by the IOC Future Host Commission included a virtual visit to all locations on the venue masterplan as well as footage of proposed
competition venues, Olympic Villages, the International Broadcast Centre, the Main Press Centre and the Ceremony Stadium, plus the surrounding areas. Future Host Commission chair Kristin Kloster Aasen says: “Brisbane 2032 has demonstrated its commitment to the great spirit of partnership of the new way of electing Olympic hosts. It is clear that the proposal has a strong momentum from across the whole community.” – International Olympic Committee My Weekly Preview | May 27, 2021 69

SURF REPORT
with MWP’s man in the water
Knock, knock who’s there, you ask? Let me guess. Mr southeast swell! He has some bad curry, so should be a bit windy. But by all accounts, should be some fun waves in protected spots. Maybe take him to dinner at Rainbow Beach? Or Noosa. Either way, he is a great guest to have visit. Heading off on a surf trip next week, but we are all a little spooked by the number of shark sightings down south. Suddenly riding a stand-up makes me feel a little bit more comfortable.
FISHING REPORT
with Steve Dingle
Snapper are starting to show up on the inner reefs with reasonable size and numbers for this time of the year and it should only get better. Still the odd mackerel around, but it is slowing down as they start to head north. Bream in our rivers are on the bite and as it gets colder the numbers and size will improve. In and around the trawlers in the Mooloolah has been the best, but be prepared to get smoked as there have been a few nice-sized trevally around also. Beaches have been quiet, but the bar entrances to the Maroochy and Caloundra Passage have produced a few early season tailor. In the fresh water, the best reports for bass have been from Ewen Maddock Dam and Lake McDonald, with soft plastic lures and a subtle motion working the best.
Self funded retirees can save thousands of dollars simply by getting a second opinion on hearing aids Some foreign owned hearing aid shops will try to get you to pay huge amounts for technology you may not need. It is very important to get a second opinion from a local and independent Hearing Rehabilitation clinic like Hear4Good. Do not make a rash decision without getting independent advice. We are the best friend a self funded retiree can have! www.hear4good.com.au
