WOO HOO Beerwah could be getting a five-star hotel.
Before you get excited, or ask WTF, that statement while completely true is also utterly theoretical.
The Sunshine Coast Council last week passed a resolution to temporarily increase hotel height allowances to encourage more luxury development ahead of the Brisbane 2032 Olympics. Those zones include the coast of course, but also that hidden lux Glasshouse Country hinterland haven.
Four Seasons Beerwah anyone?
Interestingly while the council is happy to trumpet the new rules, it goes on that it’s only temporary, but strangely doesn’t say anywhere how high the limits will now go.
The answer is between three and seven metres. So, 1-2 storeys.
Doesn’t seem like a big deal to me, but the council is treading carefully because nimbys will no doubt blow up de-lux!
The relaxed rules will come as more than interesting to developers struggling to work with council to bring even the smallest housing projects to life.
WHOOPSIES
THERE’S a lot of crap jobs in the world, but spare a thought for the person who had to literally dress up as a giant poo on the Sunshine Coast last week.
Apparently it was International Toilet Day – surely top three most made up days – and Unitywater was educating people not to shove large objects down the bend.
(I know I often need reminding not to throw small crocodiles down the drain, but how else do we migrate).
This poor woman was required to dress as a giant turd, pose for photos for equally bemused locals and even had to bear the name ‘Pootrick’.
Not sure where this lady’s career is heading but talk about a stain on your resume.
