Noosa Pickleball Club will host its annual Noosa Doubles Classic Tournament at the Noosa Leisure Centre on 18–19 April, with support from Noosa Council . The fast-growing sport continues to attract players of all ages locally and across Australia, and its momentum has prompted discussion about future Olympic inclusion, including #Brisbane2032.
The tournament will feature doubles only across men’s, women’s and mixed divisions, run as a round-robin competition with play-offs for gold, silver and bronze across age groups and graded levels. Spectators can expect to see experienced club competitors alongside first-time tournament entrants.
Club President Nick Hooper said pickleball is “low cost, addictive and inclusive”, with members valuing the social side of the game and a competitive environment that encourages activity and friendships. He said the club hopes to expand future events to include singles and larger fields, noting tournaments and inter-club visits bring valuable tourism to the Noosa region.
Pickleball Australia referee Margot Tredinnick – a foundation member of the Noosa club – will serve as head referee. “I travel widely playing and refereeing and have witnessed the growth of this sport and our club,” she said. “Pickleball requires cooperation, courtesy and fair play – when applying the rules, the opponent always gets the benefit of doubt.”
With more than 400 members aged 14 to 80+, the club says it is at a turning point and is seeking dedicated pickleball courts to meet demand. In 2026, programs include competitive leagues, social play, intergenerational sessions for seniors and teenagers, free “come and try” days and coaching. Local businesses interested in sponsorship and helping the club secure a permanent home are invited to contact the club. Visit: noosapickleballclub.com.au. ... See MoreSee Less

ARIA award-winning artist Katie Noonan brings the Australian Vocal Ensemble (AVÉ) to the Sunshine Coast hinterland for a special performance at Eudlo Hall on 19 April at 3.30pm. Part of AVÉ’s national tour, the intimate afternoon concert – The Long Moment – features newly commissioned vocal works inspired by the writing of Tim Winton.
Katie Noonan is joined by mezzo-soprano Hannah Fraser, tenor Louis Hurley and bass-baritone Andrew O’Connor to present new works by Australian composers Emma Jayakumar, Ruben Davies, Lachlan Skipworth, Aaron Wyatt, Andrew O’Connor and Katie Noonan. Drawing on Winton’s unmistakable language, the music traces themes of place, memory and the Australian landscape, with arrangements that nod to traditions of vocal polyphony.
Committed to the creation and ongoing life of new Australian vocal music, AVÉ has commissioned and premiered more than 60 works since forming – building a growing repertoire shared with audiences nationwide. Afternoon tea will be provided. Tickets: t.ly/mjX33. ... See MoreSee Less

What happens when you no longer have a car or are unable to drive? Do you become isolated in the home you’ve lived in for years? Are you forced to leave your community to receive care? How do you continue to meet your needs and stay connected with others? These are questions many of us will face at some point. As we age and our mobility changes our options can become limited.
Eumundi is a caring and supportive community, and Experience Eumundi is committed to helping our frail and elderly residents remain independent and connected. Each year funds are set aside to support a weekly maxi taxi service for those who genuinely need assistance. Interestingly this service is funded through parking fees collected from the car parks leased from Sunshine Coast Council on market days. In this way those who are able to drive and shop are helping support those who can’t.
Once a week a maxi taxi collects passengers from their homes and takes them to a local shopping centre. After approximately 3 hours, the taxi returns them safely to their door – often with groceries, essential supplies, and perhaps having enjoyed social connection as well.
To ensure the service continues to run effectively, we would love to see a few more people make use of it. There is no obligation to travel every week – some people may prefer occasional trips, or travel monthly to a specific centre. If you or a loved one could benefit from this service, or if you would like more information contact Donata on 0448 280 389. ... See MoreSee Less
