Gardens are waking up, the days are stretching longer, and the sunshine feels just that little bit warmer. It’s a time when homes look their best and buyers are more motivated, making it one of the busiest seasons in real estate.

Just in time for spring, the new Seller Disclosure Regime has come into effect. These changes are designed to create greater transparency between buyers and sellers, helping ensure smoother transactions and fewer surprises along the way. While the requirements may mean a little extra preparation for sellers, the benefit is a clearer, more confident path to sale.

If you’ve been thinking about selling, now is the perfect time to start. The combination of fresh seasonal appeal and increased buyer activity can help your property stand out. Simple touches like tidying the garden, giving your home a fresh coat of paint, and letting in as much natural light as possible, can make a big impact.

Whether you’re ready to list now or are simply exploring your options, there’s no better season to take the first step.

A fantastic week was had in Warrnambool by the Caloundra District Indoor Bowls Association, who brought home two Golds and a Bronze from the Australian Indoor Bias Bowls National Championships.

Caloundra players struck gold in the Mixed Pairs, with David and Holly Blyth taking out the title, while Carmel Blyth and Julie Wiegand secured another gold in the Ladies Pairs. Adding to the success, the Men’s Triples team of Ben Fidler (Millmerran), David Stoker (Caloundra), and Philip Lowry (Millmerran) brought home a hard-fought bronze medal.

Special highlights of the event included Holly Blyth stepping up from Juniors to Seniors, Julie Wiegand making her Championships debut, and 14 Caloundra members representing the Association on the national stage — including two juniors who proudly represented Queensland in the Junior Boys Singles.

Congratulations to all players on these outstanding achievements.

Caloundra’s newest fishing charter is purpose-built for fishing

When marine operator Bruce Bezuidenhout and veteran skipper Dave Palermo met on an ocean charter trip they got to talking about a boat. Dave was selling, Bruce was buying. The interaction sparked a partnership that’s now brought Caloundra its first dedicated fishing charter—Salty Fishing Charters.

For seventy-five years, the red and yellow flags at Dicky Beach have been more than markers of safety. They remind us that behind every wave is the quiet dedication of surf lifesavers—volunteers who give their time so that others may enjoy the ocean with freedom and confidence.

Dicky Beach Surf Life Saving Club will mark its 75th anniversary on Saturday, September 20, 2025, with a gala day for all to enjoy. Celebrations begin at 10am with a ceremonial march from the original clubhouse site to the current one, with members grouped by the decade they joined.

Highlights include unveiling commemorative plaques, burying a time capsule, and a spectacular ocean display featuring swimmers, paddle boards, skis, IRBs and jet skis in a “sea of green, gold and white.”

Dicky Beach Surf Life Saving Club, originally known as North Caloundra SLSC, was founded in 1950 in response to the growing popularity of ocean bathing. As
