25.01.2022 I think there must be a mistake. Currumbin came in at No 2 and not No 1:-) See the top 20 beaches below. Cabarita beach (NSW)... Currumbin Beach (QLD) Minnamurra beach (NSW) Maria Island (TAS) Cape Tribulation (QLD) Brighton Beach (VIC) Bettys Beach (WA) Southport Beach (SA) Wagga Wagga (NSW) Lake McKenzie (QLD) The Basin (WA) Fingal Bay (NSW) Smiths Beach (WA) Neds Beach (NSW) Quobba (WA) Cossies Beach (Cocos Islands) Lake Tyers (VIC) Diamond Head (NSW) Pondalowie (SA) Killiecrankie Beach (TAS) https://www.bhg.com.au/best-beach-australia-2020

24.01.2022 Did you know that the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) is doing some major upgrades to the Pacific Motorway M1 especially around Exit 95 to Tugun? Its all part of the Varsity Lakes to Tugun (VL2T) upgrade. Check it out: https://www.tmr.qld.gov.au//Pacific-Motorway-M1-Varsity-La From our Communitys perspective environmental issues and care for our animals and their habitat must balance out all development including public infrastructure. To that end we have... been asking the government to consider green bridges across major highways such as Mi and the Gold Coast Highway as vital coast to hinterland green corridors. see our article: https://savecurrumbin.com/currumbin-green-bridge/ This is more important than just getting ticks on a sheet with the ISCA (The Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia). Who will speak for the voiceless animals? The ISCA is a mechanism for driving sustainability outcomes in infrastructure during the planning,design, construction and operation of infrastructure assets. The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) has partnered with ISCA to identify sustainable opportunities and the project will submit a formal sustainability verification by ISCA at the completion of design and construction phases. TMR wants to achieve Sustainability Accreditation but they need to do MORE. They need to build Green bridges or else all the talk about continuity biodiversity and green corridors from the hinterland to the coast is meaningless and government speak. TMR says they will have community participation and consultation.We have asked the Minister #MarkBailey to consider Green Bridges over both M1 and Gold Coast Highways at Currumbin/Tugun and so await his response. .

20.01.2022 #savecurrumbin from overdevelopment thx to Traveling.thomas

19.01.2022 Do you like the idea of a small grassed and vegetated Green Bridge just for animals and hikers over Gold Coast Highway linking two Currumbin Hills so animals can move along green corridor and not get killed on the road? https://savecurrumbin.com/currumbin-green-bridge/

18.01.2022 This is something to seriously consider if we are fair dinkum about our wildlife corridors from the mountains to the sea. https://savecurrumbin.com/currumbin-green-bridge/

18.01.2022 Great steps....we also would like to see a similar corridor over or under Pacific Highway at Currumbin to complete the green corridor from sea to the hinterland.

17.01.2022 Without professional assistance the man in the street has no hope of understanding let alone changing the local government laws and regulations that affect their back yards. #savecurrumbin got experts to do our submissions.

15.01.2022 Us Aussies stick together. Nice to see compassion.

14.01.2022 Local governments' are accountable to the local community for their decisions, actions and services. Numerous scandals and subsequent investigations, proceedings and reports (largely associated with conflicts of interest, abuse of power for gain, and deceit such as using private email accounts to avoid detection) have shown how an unhealthy corporate governance culture and unsound practices, haughty attitudes/ disdain for corporate governance, insider deals and inappropriate ...relationships between some Councillors and officials and some developers, once they take root from poor or corrupt leadership (and never called out/ corrected), can derail the efficient operation of a council, ‘defraud’ a community and bring government into disrepute. Here is an article on the legal framework of Local Council Governance. Most councillors and most council employees follow these governance principles. However we all need to be reminded of them and work together to inculcate a compliance culture. https://www.linkedin.com//local-council-governance-peter-/ See more
