UPDATE 4.30PM: The owner of a utility which was allegedly used in a high-speed spree across the Sunshine Coast says GPS technology helped him track the vehicle. DSE Civil Electrical director Darryl Rankin said he had tracked his allegedly stolen Toyota HiLux from his Warana shopfront to a Gardak Street, Maroochydore address. Mr Rankin said it was a young man behind the wheel of the utility which went roaring out of his shop s driveway about 12pm. He said the GPS tracker helped police follow the man s many movements and eventually catch him. DSE Civil Electrical director Darryl Rankin. Picture: Patrick Woods
The owner of the Mini Donut Shoppe, Justin Stam got the idea for a food truck selling doughnuts a few years ago from a friend who worked at one. “They got to go around festivals and she said it was a fun atmosphere,” he says. The thought stayed on the back burner until he was laid off in March 2020.
An electrician by trade, Stam decided that now was the time to work on his doughnut dream. He bought a trailer in the summer, put in doughnut-making equipment, and started jumping through the hoops to open a food truck business. “I planned the opening in October, but it took a lot more time, work and money than I thought it would,” he says.

A PLAN for traffic calming and a pedestrian crossing at the Golf Links Road is being put in place.
Engineers with Limerick City and County Council have confirmed a funding proposal is to be submitted for the works near Glanntan on a busy section of the Golf Links Road.
The news has been welcomed by metropolitan district leader, Cllr Sarah Kiely and her Fine Gael colleagues Cllr Michael Sheahan and Deputy Kieran O’Donnell.
“Given the level of traffic on that road, the necessity to act can t come quickly enough, however, there is a process and thankfully it has now started,” Cllr Kiely stated. “It is set to happen late this year or early next year depending on funding. We have all put forward representations from people in the area and worked together to progress the scheme with the engineers.”
