🏡𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽 𝗦𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺 𝗥𝗱 𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲 – 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘃𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗴𝗲, 𝟳𝟬𝟬 𝗱𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗱Three large parcels of land along Sth Coolum Rd could be home to a future retirement village featuring some 700 dwellings. A letterbox drop alerted nearby residents to a community information session which was held on Sunday May 24 in Coolum. The letter from ‘Urbis’ stated that its proposal is focused on providing much-needed housing through retirement living, as well as publicly accessible open space.One concerned resident who attended the info session said that it was poorly advertised. “What stood out the most was the proposal didn’t even have a name. It appeared like the developers were doing everything they could to avoid meaningful engagement." As to the merits of what was known and the scale, the resident expressed major concerns. “It’s inappropriate from a zoning and flood overlay perspective and inconsistent with sustainable development. “This will greatly Impact the community – this isn’t just a few houses it's 700 dwellings. This will significantly add to an already at capacity region.” A development application at this stage has not been lodged with Sunshine Coast Regional Council however it is expected within the next few months. We will keep you updated as to when this is lodged. 🗞𝙈𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘼𝙙𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙚𝙧 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙤𝙣 𝙒𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙅𝙪𝙣𝙚 10.𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸? Is this an appropriate development for this site?

🏡🛝𝗕𝗨𝗗𝗚𝗘𝗧 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗗𝗢𝗪𝗡: 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 & 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘂𝗽 - 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗯𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱Council adopted Budget 2026-27 at a Special Meeting on June 1 with Mayor Rosanna Natoli stating the Budget contained tough decisions with a clear plan focussed on community priorities and demonstrated a strong commitment to financial responsibility. “Getting the finances right, showing strong financial stewardship, is not easy, but it is the right thing to do,” Mayor Natoli said. 💰There will be an overall rates increase of $4.26 a week for most owner-occupier ratepayers, which is up $221.68 (9.7 per cent) on 2025-26. Mayor Natoli cited financial pressures across the board as a major contributor to the tough Budget. “The cost of building anything, running services, maintaining infrastructure, paying people fairly – it has all increased in ways that were difficult to predict and impossible to avoid. “Delivering the services our community relies on now costs almost 30 per cent more than it did four years ago. “Our goal is a balanced budget… Rates will rise and Council will tighten its belt.” ▪️Taking to social media Councillor Taylor Bunnag - Division 8, Sunshine Coast Regional Council listed why the fiscally tough measures were needed. “Council for five of the past six budgets, has been running deficit budgets from an operating perspective. By any measure of financial health, that is unsustainable over a prolonged period of time. “The starting point for this coming financial year was that without a serious course correction, Council was going to be having further significant deficits until at least FY28 and probably beyond if there were serious or unforeseen financial events that arose.” ▪️More on the Budget in the Advertiser out Wednesday June 10.
