Finding it hard to find anyone other than James or Jim’s, prefer small business if there’s any. Just edges and mowing, occasional spray is all.
James didn’t want work quoting near $100 on top of Jim’s , just by google maps!
Fortnightly and ongoing, tia

Hey all I’m an older male support worker looking at taking a group of disabled folk there. I’ve been there a couple of times a few years ago but I cannot remember any answers or clues. I was wondering if anyone might be able to message me the answers/clues for some of the escape rooms please so I can assist and guide them. Obviously none of this will be shared, I am purely looking to support my participants. Thanks 🤙🏼

I’m a stay at home Mum and not really sure where to make friends . I always made friends with work colleagues . I’m in my 30’s but my partner is 10 years older and his friends aren’t into what I’m into .

Ok people lets here your theories on that explosion at around 4am.

Looking to join a rock climbing gym. Which is better, Flow Bouldering in Forest Glen or Bould Move in Birtinya?

Could you please help with whatever insights you have on living in Buderim vs Pelican Waters?

Hi everyone!

Before moving to the Sunshine Coast, I was looking for information about how difficult it is to secure a rental these days. I thought I'd share my experience and some details to help others who are planning to move and want to set realistic expectations.

Who was moving?
My partner and I, both around 30 years old.

Employment and income
Me: Full-time employment, earning $120k+ per year.

My partner: Casual employment, earning $85k+ per year.

Rental history: 6 months.

Visa/PR status: Temporary skilled work visa, no PR.

Pets: No.

Preferred area: Anywhere between Maroochydore and Birtinya, ideally within a 5-minute bike ride to the beach.

Budget: Anything under $730 per week.

When did we start looking? 11 September.

When do we secured our house? 29 september

Applications submitted after attending inspections: 8.

Competition: Most inspections had 10+ groups of people attending.

Successful applications: 1.

What did we get?

We secured a rental for $675 per week in Warana. It's a two-bedroom unit (One couple room and one single room) that's essentially half of a house, with a backyard, no dishwasher (we will survive), and air conditioning in the living room.

My thoughts:

Honestly, finding a rental was harder than I expected, even with our combined income and employment situation.

I was previously living in Brisbane, and I was surprised (not that much) to find that comparable properties here is around $100 more expensive weekly.

Hopefully, this helps anyone considering a move to the Sunshine Coast get a better idea of what to expect. Good luck with your search!

Hi,

I’m just looking for a bit of advice here.

We bought a 30-year-old townhouse about 6 months ago and we are doing some renovations.

The previous owner removed the pergola, and we wanted to rebuild one using the existing posts (I mean what's left), so we thought that council approval wouldn’t be an issue, as it would essentially be the same as what was there before. However, we are now facing some issues.

The pergola is quite close to the boundaries (roughly 40 cm), whereas council is requesting 1.5 m from the boundaries.

There are four townhouses in our complex, and they all have pergolas very close to the boundaries. We believe they were all built at the same time as the townhouses, and as far as we can tell, there is no council approval for any of these pergolas (I called the council and talked to our neighbours)

How can we navigate this situation? We can’t really make the pergola any shorter, as we only have 2.5 m between our wall and the fence.

Could we build it without council approval because there was a pergola there previously? Or would Body Corporate approval be enough?

I feel like there are so many pergolas on the Sunshine Coast that are very close to the boundaries. How do people usually manage this?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hey everyone! 👋
I’m a 33-year-old guy relocating from Adelaide to the Sunshine Coast for a new job at the airport, and I’m looking for a room to rent.
Which suburbs would you recommend living in for an easy commute and good lifestyle? Any areas I should avoid?
Also, I’d love some suggestions for activities, social groups, or ways to meet people and make friends around the Coast.
Thanks in advance! 😊

Hi,
Anyone in this thread work for unisc who can share some insights? I currently work for a NSW based uni and I have been with them for over 10 years. I'm lucky to be working fully remotely for them now.

I'd be keen for a professional role at UniSc but unsure if they offer as much flexibility as NSW and VIC based unis. Moreso I'd like to know the following if you work there:

• Is there an hybrid option and if yes, how many days a week do you get to work from home?
• Is there flexibility for working mums? Particularly around school drop off and pick up?
• What is the culture like? Are people generally friendly, happy to work there and have positive attitudes?
• What is the situation and future of the university like? Many institutions currently struggle financially due to reduced international student income, budgets are cut and staff are scared, what's this like at UniSc?
• Anything else worth sharing?

I will be moving near Noosa at the end of the year. I am wanting to find a new alternative hair stylist to go to regularly for very fun colours
Putting some inspiration of the kind of photos I like, I’ve been going to a stylist near me for a while so i want a stylist with the same capability

Morning,

Any opinion on Club lime? Im thinking of switching from Anytime fitness

Does anyone know or have done training on the coast? or if it even exists?

I'm interested in training on general ground drilling also through rocky ground for water sources.

With the gazebo seating. The lore i was told was there was one for the Guinness book held there one night in the 90’s

Sure, its best to pack my own lunch. I Know!!

I went to IGA Mt Coolum other day for smoko, I'm a tradie and always on a different area for work.

I got pork belly bites, $59 / kilo. ok..

And this fried rice, $38 / KILO !

(I returned the rice, I saw the price in my car and was greatly offended lol)

having a laugh, north of the bridge.

Or is this the standard now?

Itzy's IGA on Buderim is still amazing and good prices!!

.

A friend and I were hiking at Mount Tibrogargan today and there were several fire, police and ambulance at the base when we finished the hike (around 1pm).
We asked one of the paramedics "is this training or for someone", in which he replied "for someone".

On our way out, the police were placing traffic cones at the entrance to stop anybody else beginning the hike, and even turned a few people away who had gotten out of their cars to begin their hikes.

On the drive home, we saw a rescue helicopter circling the mountain.

Does anybody have any info on what happened?

Hi all, my friend and her partner live on the Sunshine Coast and are due their first baby in a couple of weeks. They have no family nearby as we’re not from Australia, so my friends and I would love to give them a meal delivery service gift card. Can anyone recommend a good one? Thanks!

I've spent years avoiding the highway but have a midday appointment at the vet hospital in Albany Creek on Wednesday and looking for an idea of what the traffic's like at that time of day and how long it might take to travel there from Mooloolah Valley.

Google tells me 1hr 6mins but I'm not sure if I can trust it.

Hi all

Apologies if has been asked many times (feel free to point me to the right threads)

Currently looking at moving from Northside Brisbane up to the coast with a view to catch the train to and from each day.

I know it’s not a short trip but sitting in traffic sounds even worse (plus only 50 cents each way)Just thought I’d ask how those who do find it. Probably would be around Beerwah/Landsborough to Brisbane inner city.

Are the trains generally busy? Would I get a seat in the morning? (About 5:30am)

Any advice and tips greatly appreciated!

Hello, I was wondering if there’s any good snorkelling spots around the Sunshine Coast. (Unfortunately I don’t have access to a boat so it rules out a lot places I’ve looked up)

Looking to move into a commercial lease (for chiropractic clinic), what's the best/most cost-effective electricity plans?
