𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗰 𝟯▪️The northern part of the Sunshine Coast Airport which flanks the former runway and David Low Way could be home to resorts, hotels, residential and retirement homes, retail and business ventures. ▪️The 'Airport North Precinct Master Plan' is before Economic Development Queensland (EDQ) and community consultation is open for just 20 days with the period closing on December 3. ▪️Some locals have not been shy in voicing their opinion on what they think of the plan with Cr Taylor Bunnag one of the loudest voices opposing the airport's future plans. "The northern precinct proposal, submitted by Sunshine Coast Airport to EDQ, paves the way for a potential 10-storey resort complex and hotel, hundreds of residential dwellings, bars, and significantly increased retail footprint. This proposal does not have my support for several reasons."▪️Member for Maroochydore Fiona Simpson was pragmatic and balanced. "Keeping the Sunshine Coast beautiful and having a dynamic economy with key industries which support local jobs and businesses is vital. "It is important that the public have their say about how best to grow the local jobs and businesses of the Sunshine Coast through the airport while ensuring development is compatible with those jobs and the local community." 📸Pictured is an artist render of the proposed plan. Some people did not realise that! Image from SCA 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄 ⬇️🤔𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻? 𝗪𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄? ...

Footage was filmed and will now be used as a promotional video for Coolum. Unfortunately, the livestream didn’t work. So many missed out. ▪️Who remembers the kite festival? A huge event which was held on one day at Stumers Creek at the end of August. Sadly, the kite festival ended its yearly run in Coolum in 2008. Pictured below is our story on the announcement that the kite festival would be returning in 2005. ▪️And more recently there was the huge Ferris wheel which lit up the night sky in the Lions Park in winter 2022. 🪁🎡🕺Let us know- what do you think Coolum needs?

The trio of cute consists of two girls and one boy and will join the resident dingoes - Archie, Jira and Eve. Sadly, dingos face ongoing threats in the wild, including habitat destruction, persecution and hybridisation with domestic dogs - making the arrival of these three puppies at Australia Zoo all the more meaningful.Ash Sfornica from Australia Zoo said that the pups were already stealing hearts!"At just nine weeks old, the dingo puppies are already showing us their individual personalities! The little boy is full of confidence and always first to explore, while the girls are steadily venturing out more each day and letting their curious natures shine,” Ash said. Visitors may catch a glimpse of the siblings exploring their beautiful home at Australia Zoo, so keep your eyes peeled for plenty of dingo cuteness on your next visit!
