You can't use a 555, obviously.

You need to use two of them, or a 556, because you need one half for the 30 second monostable and the other half for the astable that drives the beeper.

Out of contrariness I'd use a CD4011 though.

You're right, but I think a 555 is maybe more than required for the buzzer.

Buzz-overkill, if you like.
