Rule of law?.....that was a legislative and administrative nightmare and they got through it.
And that followed on from another massive coastal engineering project up at Southport. Also in my lifetime.
Totally rejigged the coastline.
Both those projects created surf of almost unimaginable perfection and consistency.
Quite literally some of the best waves in the world.
Staggering engineering achievements.
In that context, a little Vwall or V reef at Tugun beach, say, is nothing.
Just general surfing stuff

Yeah, really I would have gone out if I could have. Maybe in a month or two.

A large part of recreational amenity on the southern Gold Coast is surfing.
Advisory committees regarding this matter were formed and advise the contractors (McDonnell-Dowell).
It's publicly accessible information.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
'Recreational amenity of the beaches' is the key phrase in the deeds and legislation, Steve.
Neither act, nor the original deeds, nor the schedules include any mention of waves or surf.
As far as I am aware the only mention of maintaining or improving surf in the original paperwork and planning is in a public works committee report.

What about fishos servicing soccer mums?
Any clauses covering that?
Otherwise it's an egregious breech of contract
With malice and forethought , denying all
"recreational amenities of the longtard."

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Thats true but I've been in a room at GCCC with engineers and bureaucrats when surf amenity has been explicitly discussed in relation to recreational amenity of the beaches.
You may have too.
A more pertinent example is project Kirra in 2013, where Kirra Big Groyne was re-extended 30m to improve surf amenity.
"In 1996, the City removed 30 metres of Kirra groyne after the commencement of the Tweed River Entrance Sand Bypass Project. These works were undertaken to assist with the movement of increased volumes of sand resulting from the bypass project.
As the movement of sand along southern Gold Coast beaches returned to more natural levels, community stakeholders expressed a desire to improve recreational surfing amenity at Kirra Point, and that the City should consider reinstating Kirra Groyne to its original constructed length of 180 metres.
As a result, the City invested $800,000 in the reinstatement of the groyne to its original length. The works are a key element of the Mayor's strategic initiative to invest in the future management of Gold Coast foreshores and align to the City's Ocean Beaches Strategy".

Great news. Funding is pretty much under control and now Council Approval.
This clubhouse will be shared by Windansea and Caloundra Mal Club. But Windansea has been the prime moving force. Location is the park at the end of Buderim St, Currimundi. AKA Ann St.
***HISTORY MADE** this morning at the Nambour Council Chambers after 49 years strong of WindanSea. The Sunshine Coast Council vote 9 for and 2 against for the construction of our Clubhouse. We thank councillors @peter.cox & deputy Mayor Tim Dywer for the unwavering support.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

That is good news for you, Trev. Congrats!
Kelly Slater. The last few years have perhaps tarnished the KS brand for some.
But this year! Winning unlikely heats!
On Tuesday, he is seen surfing on the Tweed Coast in Australia. On Thursday, he is in Brazil in crappy small waves winning his heat by out-hustling 2 young guns. At age 47. He really is a freak!
