BALLOONS DISPLAY HEIGHT OF BUILDINGS
On Thursday 16th October 2013 at approx. 5.30am a group , consisting of members from Coast Care, Development Watch, Coolum Boardriders and residents, launched and photographed a cluster of balloons to the height of the proposed 10 and 7 storey buildings. They were positioned 188m in from the high tide area of the beach where Sekisui intends to build 10 storey buildings, and 62 meters in from David Low Way where the 7 storey buildings will be.
The balloons were photographed from various houses around the neighbourhood, Pt Arkwright and David low way. On the beach photographers were positioned at the high tide mark, mid beach, low tide mark and in the water at the surf break line. They were also 100 - 200 metres north and south of where the balloons were launched.
The result were confronting and horrifying. Due to Sekisui's wording, we are not sure if the high rise buildings are going to be 44 or 39 metres and the smaller ones 27 or 22 metres with or without fill and roof tops. For this reason we made the balloon bunch 5 mtrs long to accommodate the differences. At every stage we had a JP with us to ensure all measurements were correct and accurate.

The Save Yaroomba Group (as a sub committee of Friends of Yaroomba Inc) is dedicated to the preservation of social amenity in the Yaroomba Village area. We are not opposed to appropriate development or economic growth across the Sunshine Coast region or the Yaroomba Beach precinct. We are opposed to the Sekisui Yaroomba Beach development because it does not conform to the reasonable restraints contained in the Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme 2014. The Sekisui DA will greatly affect the social environment for all residents in the Yaroomba Beach Community, and our aim is to ensure that the Sekisui Yaroomba proposal fully adheres to the height and density requirements stipulated for the Yaroomba Beach district in the Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme 2014. We welcome appropriate development to Yaroomba Beach, but we will strenuously oppose the current form of the Sekisui Yaroomba Beach proposal. If you would like to support our cause to save the Yaroomba Beach Community from this inappropriate Sekisui Yaroomba development, you are welcome to either donate via the facility on this website, or join our email list to receive updates.
