To help Sunshine Coast folk in need, join the ‘Sleep Rough’ at this year’s Vinnies CEO Sleepout on 18 June at the Maroochy Surf Club 6pm-7am. Funds raised will help Vinnies deliver the homes to create long-term change for people at risk of, or experiencing homelessness across Qld.
Congratulations to Les Pontin who is participating in his 4th sleepout and aiming to raise even more than his total to date of $40,219. “Every night, thousands of Australians experience homelessness. But it doesn't have to be that way. This year I'm taking part in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout to raise money for the St Vincent de Paul Society to support Australians in need. For one night, I'll be sleeping outside as part of an eye-opening experience to raise awareness and bring home the realities of homelessness.”

This term Yr3 students at Eumundi State School have been involved in chicken studies, where theoretical lessons about egg production, shell colours and incubation periods have transformed into hands-on experiences. Students are directly applying their knowledge by identifying and harvesting nutrient-rich weeds and herbs to keep the flock healthy.
This vibrant outdoor hub extends beyond class time with the Lunchtime Garden Club, open to all grade levels on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Demonstrating community spirit and mentorship, Yr6 Enviro Leaders step up during these sessions to guide and manage the younger students.
Healthy chickens, happy, capable informed children! ... See MoreSee Less

Throwing batteries in your household bin might seem harmless, but it can have dangerous consequences. When batteries end up in general waste or recycling, they can be compacted or punctured during collection and processing. This damage can trigger fires in garbage trucks or at waste facilities – posing serious safety risks to workers, damaging infrastructure, and disrupting essential waste and recycling services.
Batteries contain materials that can ignite under pressure or when exposed to heat. Even small household batteries can cause significant incidents if handled incorrectly. Preventing these risks starts with a simple habit: keeping batteries out of your bins.
To make safe disposal even easier, Noosa Council is introducing battery-safe bins at: Noosa Council Administration Centre, Cooroy Library, Noosaville Library, Noosa Leisure Centre, Noosa Aquatic Centre and Noosaville Depot.
These bins are designed for embedded batteries – the kind found in everyday items such as vapes, toys, smartwatches, headphones and electric toothbrushes.
For larger embedded batteries, such as those in e-bikes and e-scooters, residents can use the Resource Recovery Centre on Eumundi-Noosa Road or the transfer stations at Cooroy and Pomona.
Instead of disposing of batteries in your regular waste, take them to a designated collection point where they can be handled safely and recycled appropriately. You can locate your nearest drop-off point by:
Using the Recycle Mate app or visit: recyclemate.com.au
Visit: bcycle.com.au – Australia’s official battery recycling scheme.
By choosing to recycle your batteries correctly, you’re helping protect people, infrastructure, and the environment. So next time you replace a battery, remember – don’t bin it! ... See MoreSee Less
