Many of us making up the Sunrise Beach community have been taken by surprise. Residents, schools and visiting bird and Wallum enthusiasts have had little or no idea that this development was imminent. This is an update on what is currently happening to hopefully save our glossies and find good outcomes for all.
Staying on the topic of the Sunrise Aged Care development, Bettina and Desiré ponders the possibilities of WIMBYism (Welcome In My Back Yard). A vision to minimise the destructive impact on our precious environment and focus on the multiple benefits that could flow from a more environmentally conscious design.
NIMBYism has got a bad reputation, and rightly so. In this post, Desi makes the case for NIMBYism and a community's rights to stand up for NO EXTINCTIONS in our back yards. Save our Sunrise Glossies!
In 2004 Noosa Council sold two big blocks of bushland to Blue Care. Development approval was given for a massive aged care facility adjacent to what is now Sunrise Shops and the Uniting Church building.
