Mount Coolum Shores, Town of Seaside, Mount Coolum Boardwalk, Tanah Street East  

THE SEASIDE Shores Community Association (SSCA) is all about building a vibrant beachside community within the area it covers.  

 SSCA provides a forum to bring residents together for the purpose of the advancement and maintenance of the community through social gatherings, securing funding for future projects from council, and communicating with local residents on developments. They also ensure a safe and friendly environment for all residents, including children and dogs and provide a forum for ideas to be brought forward, debated and acted upon. 

The association has advocated for the community on important issues such as the Sunshine Coast Airport, drainage issues and disaster management.   

They have fostered relationships with the traditional owners – the Kabi Kabi, and environmental groups such as Coolum and North Shore Coast Care.  

Key projects have included restoring estate signs and totem poles to maintain local heritage, supporting a productive and sustainable community garden, and  

working to maintain recreational parks, picturesque water bodies (lakes) and access to beaches with boardwalks and pathways. 

SSCA would like to know what more they can do and wants to hear from the community, with all ideas welcomed, and they warmly welcome everyone to their meeting on Saturday, March 21, at 10 am. The ‘Long Table Coffee’ meeting will be held at Glen Retreat Park (The Little Ripper Coffee), Town of Seaside, Marcoola. There will also be an opportunity to become a member for just $20.
