Yaroomba Beach development
THE SEKISUI House approval has been cancelled. Council cancelled the approval following a request from the new owners of the Yaroomba Beach development site.
The cancellation of the Sekisui approval is a significant moment for the Yaroomba community because it has ended a lengthy process of uncertainty surrounding this site.
The practical impact of this cancellation is that the current developer, Dennis Family, and potential future property owners will need to develop the site in accordance with the Hyatt Masterplan, which was approved over 17 years ago by the former Maroochy Shire Council.
There are significant differences in the height and scale of buildings allowed under the Hyatt Masterplan in comparison to the Sekisui approval.
I would like to acknowledge the efforts of local people who, for many years, fought hard to have their voices heard on what the future of our community looked like.
Play space renewal
As a regular user of Power Memorial Park in Mudjimba with my young family, I’m delighted that council will be starting some staged works to start improving the space.
Later this month, stage 1 works will start, which involves renewing the five shelters adjacent to the playground, with new roofing, barbeques and seating. We will also be widening the pathways and planting new shade trees to accompany landscaping works. Council will also be enhancing the lighting and accessibility to the park, which is a necessary improvement.
Thank you to Mudjimba locals and business owners for their patience during the renewal, which is expected to be completed by the end of July.
I’m looking forward to announcing the second stage later in the year, which includes upgrading the playground.
