First Bay landslip repair works underway
A REMINDER that works to repair a section of cliff face above the beach at First Bay, Coolum, has begun. The area was damaged during the February and May 2022 flooding events. This repair work will stabilise and strengthen the area affected by the landslip and provide a new 145m path for pedestrians. These works are scheduled to be completed by Monday, June 30, 2025, weather permitting. Some traffic and parking changes are in place during work. Thank you for your patience during this time.
Have your say on a region-wide plan for dog access
There are more than 54,000 registered dogs across the Sunshine Coast – that’s a lot of wagging tails and active paws exploring our parks, beaches and open spaces every day.
With so many furry companions living in our region, Sunshine Coast Council has prepared a draft plan on how we can create a balanced network of dog exercise areas that meet the needs of all residents and their dogs, while protecting our region’s natural beauty, now and into the future.
Council’s draft Dog Exercise Area Plan and Network Blueprint is now open for your feedback.
We are receiving a lot of feedback regarding the changes to Stumers Creek, both in opposition and support. Keep the information coming, but please remain respectful of all views.
I’d encourage you to visit haveyoursay.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au and share your thoughts before February 28.
