22.01.2022 WORKS UPDATE: Outrigger Island boat ramp will have some disruptions and partial closures during Monday 28th September to Thursday 1st October for dredging to try to get better navigable access from the boat ramp to the navigational channel in the Mooloolah River.

Other boat ramps to utilise during this time will be at Harbour Pde and Parkyn Parade. We apologise for any inconvenience.

21.01.2022 WORKS UPDATE: Stage 1 works in the ground at Cotton Tree are complete. More than 1800 geotextile containers filled with sandalso known as geobagswere used to build a seawall and two groynes which will interrupt wave action, capture sand and provide an erosion buffer. The largest of the geobags are filled with 11 tonnes of sandabout the weight of eight cars. Stage one of the project focussed on renewing the northern-most groyne structures near the Cotton Tree Holiday Park. Stage two of the project is scheduled to take place in 2021 and will focus on the two southern-most groyne structures.

21.01.2022 CONSULTATION: begins this month. You can register now. Please be ready to be involved! I urge you to make a difference. There are two community groups which are active in this space: @sunshinecoastmasstransitactiongroup and Beach Matters - if you’re interested, check them out. This is the official release from Council:... Mark a spot in your calendar. Your chance to have a say on the best public transport options for our region kicks off on 28 April 2021. Over an eight-week period until 22 June 2021, residents and visitors will have the opportunity to provide their valuable feedback on a range of options being considered in a draft Mass Transit Options Analysis report. The Options Analysis is the second phase in the business case process being undertaken for the mass transit project. The options considered in the draft report range from bus network upgrades to a quality bus corridor to bus rapid transit, trackless trams, light rail transit and more. Transport Portfolio Councillor Rick Baberowski said while public transport was a State Government responsibility, council was leading the important planning work to attract state and federal infrastructure funding and needed community feedback and support to achieve that. We know we need sustainable and efficient transport options that can move us around quickly as our population grows yet still protect our local lifestyle and environment, Cr Baberowski said. We are considering a range of options, and we are keen to know your thoughts. The outcomes of the community and stakeholder feedback about the mass transit options will inform the finalisation of the Mass Transit Options Analysis report, which will then be submitted to council for consideration. Cr Baberowski said the comprehensive community engagement process would seek community opinion on a wide range of potential options to help council make recommendations to the State Government for further consideration in the final phase of the mass transit business case process, the Detailed Business Case. Make sure you have a say on what you and your family and friends want when it comes to getting around the Sunshine Coast so we can protect our environment and the way we live, work and play he said. There will also be the opportunity to have a say about the various ways in which the forecast growth in the coastal corridor could be accommodated over the decades ahead, from medium rise development concentrated around stations and centres to lower density development dispersed more widely throughout the corridor. Feedback received about the various ways of accommodating growth will help inform the preparation of the new planning scheme, which is proceeding over the next few years. Visit council’s website and sign up today to receive project updates, engagement activities and be the first to have your say when consultation begins on 28 April, 2021.

21.01.2022 SURVEY: EROSION and INUNDATION - Council is now seeking further community feedback on coastal hazard adaptation options, insights on their effectiveness and areas they think each option may be most appropriate. Your responses will help inform discussion on how we can adapt to and manage coastal hazards like erosion and inundation in the future. There are a number of ways we can respond to coastal hazards, including updates to land use planning, enhancing natural processes, ch...anges and upgrades to existing infrastructure, exploring coastal engineering options and supporting initiatives that help build adaptive, resilient communities. Please complete our second survey exploring Coastal Adaptation by 5pm on August 30, 2020. To complete the survey and to learn more about ‘Our Resilient Coast. Our Future’ visit haveyoursay.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au ‘Our Resilient Coast. Our Future’ is funded by the State Government QCoast2100 Program.

18.01.2022 COMMUNITY SUPPORT: Can you help? Council is collecting books for the annual Books4Kids Christmas appeal. Until December 11, please donate new children’s or young adult fiction and non-fiction books to your local Sunshine Coast library branch. The books will then be distributed by local charities to families in need, in time for Christmas. Being surrounded by books they own helps children build vocabulary, increase awareness and comprehension, and expand horizons.... A recent study conducted by The National Literacy Trust in the United Kingdom displays the disparities between children who own books and those who do not. The study found that book-wielding children were six times more likely to read above their grade level. See more

17.01.2022 This interview sums up my thoughts on the issue of mass transit on the Sunshine Coast! What do you think? #imlistening

17.01.2022 Hundreds of homeowners from Palm Beach to Tugun could have their properties resumed. They're on the most likely route for the light rail from Burleigh to the border. www.7NEWS.com.au #7NEWS

17.01.2022 WORKS UPDATE: shelter shed renewal at La Balsa Park. This shed should look much improved once complete. Works should begin shortly and are estimated to take two weeks to complete (weather permitting).

16.01.2022 People often ask what the alternative is if we don’t approve light rail. This is a well-written argument from resident Geoff Glanville. I am re-posting with permission. It is well worth the read. Quite often the first suggestion made to people who hold genuine concerns about these issues, is to challenge them to provide their alternative solution. It’s often a neat debating trick to ask someone not technically qualified, to produce a technical solution, and then demean the...Continue reading

The Department of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR) have requested that Halls Contracting remove the shoal when a convenient weather window presents itself during the Maroochydore Renourishment Campaign. Dredging at Mooloolaba is expected to last for approx. one week, from the 14/08 20/08. The placement of sand will be in the location shown below. #dredge #mooloolaba #keepingyouintheloop

14.01.2022 DOGS OFF LEASH: BLITZ PLANNED. Following numerous complaints over the past few months, Sunshine Coast Council will run an education campaign at Point Cartwright during the Easter school holidays to ensure dog owners know their responsibilities and are doing the right thing. Divisional councillor Joe Natoli said residents and recreational users of the popular area were fed-up with irresponsible dog owners. We know people love coming to Point Cartwright, and it’s a very popula...r area for exercising dogs, Cr Natoli said. But, the large number of dogs visiting the area has also resulted in an increase in noise and other issues which is causing considerable distress to the local community and visitors to the area. We’ve received numerous complaints about dog waste not being picked up and disposed of correctly, dogs not under effective control, dogs being allowed to roam off-leash during designated on-leash times, dogs running into the bushland, jumping on other park users and creating safety concerns for other park users. It’s time dog owners took their responsibilities seriously, which is why we’ll be visiting the area every day during the Easter school holidays to ensure dog owners are doing the right thing. Between April 1 and 14, Council’s Response Services staff will attend a daily pop-up education booth to discuss responsible dog management with as many users of the area as possible. #keepingyouintheloop #KeepingYouInTheLoop Photo credit - our pup Lulu.

12.01.2022 A VICTORY for residents who are interested in the future of our region. My Motion to open the Mass Transit issue to community consultation was carried at today's Ordinary Meeting.
