So tell me Beerwah, of all the Towns in Australia, who do you most want to be like and why?
Beerwah has been in transition for a number of years, and it will be something different again in the years ahead, so please help me solve this puzzle. “Will Beerwah Become like Maleny, Noosa or Caboolture?”
The truth is that Beerwah’s future has been more or less mapped out for us by our Sunshine Coast Council or the State Governments with or without you and I playing a part in the process and so we don’t really know or understand what exactly they have planned.
Towns are very much like people, they face their own challenges, opportunities, good fortune and sometimes plain bad luck which oftentimes fall outside of their own control and even with the very best of ideas and intentions councils are often limited and in many instances they are simply ineffectual in what they are able to achieve.
In the end it will be the ‘People of Beerwah’ who choose and determine what their future will be like and very broadly speaking the paths we choose will take us towards three different cultures, namely Maleny, Noosa or Caboolture?
Maleny: is well known for its alternative ‘hippie/greenie culture’. The town of Maleny is populated by a wide demographic of people with artists, musicians and craftspeople who are sometimes juxtaposed against the more traditional older residents. It has an array of interesting shops closely linked to the alternative culture and attracts a high percentage of the Sunshine Coast tourist population.
Noosa: is the most stylish of the coastal Towns, but still extraordinary difficult to find work, quite simply because there is not much work, but most people arrive in Noosa with a financial cushion and quickly find out that they need to use their cash to make ends meet and they end up taking employment beneath their hopes and aspirations. The one thing they have going for them is that they manage their councils well and tell them what they want. Noosa appears to be better able to work and stand together which may be linked to better education. http://www.getinthehotspot.com/living-in-noosa/ (reader beware reading this article will change your mind about Noosa if you, like me, sometimes dream of moving to Noosa.)
Cabooluture: - Truth is that apart from a ‘hokus pokus’ document made up by the Morton Bay Council, I had a hard time finding resources which link Caboolture with the culture. :) I don’t imagine that the People of Caboolture have any say in the future of their Town and I feel quite confident that the People of Beerwah don’t write letters to their local councillor suggesting that Beerwah should become more like Caboolture, although in the absence so making good choices about the future of Beerwah we may well end up this way. https://www.reddit.com/r/brisbane/comments/232gny/tell_me_about_caboolture/ (reader beware, bad words and the truth)
