MOVE TO THE GOLD COAST: THE CASE FOR AND AGAINST It was an election promise that I made that Tamborine Mountain would get the opportunity to express its views and vote on moving into the Gold Coast City Council local government area. Over the last 12 months I have listened to what locals are saying. I represent all mountain residents and you know my personal views. I have always said I will abide by the result of any quantitative process to determine the will of the majority. My election win was substantive on preferences, but the primary vote was split four ways. This process that we are embarking on, and starts with the case FOR AND AGAINST, is the beginning of the lead up to a household plebiscite. Voluntary experts have been involved in planning for this vote, and will be certifying the process to ensure probity and statistical accuracy. After the case ‘for and against’ is concluded, more information will be announced. The case for: 1. SCENIC RIM REGIONAL COUNCIL RATES EXCESSIVELY HIGH. Gold Coast has exceptionally low uniform residential rates and separate charges which would mean slashing Tamborine Mountain’s rates to affordable levels - as much as up to 50%. The average General Rate and Separate Charge Infrastructure ranks fifth highest of any community in Queensland according to the State’s comparative statistics. Our rate contribution does not reflect our share of capital expenditure over the last 13 years of Scenic Rim Regional Council, and our amenity and liveability are on a declining trajectory. It is a structural problem with no solution. 2. NO OVERDEVELOPMENT POSSIBLE WITH GCCC AND THE STATE’S REGIONAL PLAN AND GROWTH STRATEGIES. There is no reason for the GCCC to overdevelop Tamborine Mountain. You only have to look at Guanaba, Springbrook, the Mudgeeraba Valley, Currumbin Valley, Numinbah Valley, Mt Nathan, Lower Beechmont and Advancetown to name a few rural areas in GCCC where there are no high rises, and the rural vista has been protected. Even if GCCC wanted to overdevelop Tamborine Mountain, this would be against the State’s SEQ Regional Plan and impossible to achieve. The State would not allow it and with no reticulated water and sewerage it is a fanciful and emotive argument with little substance. Why would it not have done so in those other areas already? The truth is that 95% of high rise is built one block back from the coastline. The single high rise closest to Tamborine Mountain is at Royal Pines Golf Course east of Carrara. 3. $1.7 BILLION BUDGET. Gold Coast has a $1.7 billion operating budget and $575 million annual capital budget. Scenic Rim Council lacks financial capacity (approximately $80 million budget) and the willingness to invest and renew Tamborine Mountain’s infrastructure to a high standard. Yet Tamborine Mountain with 8100 people is the largest population centre in the region, compared to Beaudesert with a population of 6500. Scenic Rim Council has announced upward of $35 million of capital works in the town of Beaudesert this year so far and this again is where the bulk of money is being spent, and potentially more is yet to be announced. 4. COMMUNITY OF INTEREST WITH GCCC. Tamborine Mountain’s community of Interest is not with Beaudesert; it is with Gold Coast because we travel for hospitals, shopping, recreation, beaches, higher education, swimming, sport, and service trades etc. This is one of the key criteria the State will consider in determining whether we go to Gold Coast City Council or not. The GCCC recognises this. This was the reason the locality of Karana Downs, formerly of Ipswich, moved to the Brisbane City Council local government area. 5. REGULAR BUS SERVICES TO GCCC. Gold Coast City Council can integrate Tamborine Mountain into its transport network. Regular bus services to Helensvale and beyond would end the social isolation of those who do not have access to cars, including the young and elderly. 6. INCREASED CAPACITY TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT AND OUR LIFESTYLE The Scenic Rim Council is smaller than the Gold Coast which has strong environmental and compliance policies and the financial capacity to react quickly and defend them against deep pocketed developers or others that might seek to do illegal vegetation clearing, or activities that create noise, nuisance, or unsightly aggregations on their properties. 7. BETTER, FASTER MORE SUCCESSFUL PLANNING CONDITIONS COMPLIANCE Gold Coast has a strong record of ensuring planning schemes and development conditions are complied with, and enforced, resulting in a higher standard of built environment that is complementary to the surrounding environment and fit for purpose. 8. RECREATION FIELDS INCLUDING TMSA, FULLY MAINTAINED SRRC does not invest in active recreation on Tamborine Mountain. Our once beautiful sports fields on Long Road have been left to struggle as the committee, run by volunteers, struggles to raise funds for their operation and development. Gold Coast operates, renews, and maintains all its sports fields and sports buildings. 9. BETTER MAIN ROADS Gold Coast has an impressive record of working with Main Roads and advocating for a high standard of road maintenance and renewal. The Mountain’s Main Roads are in terrible condition from years of neglect. 10. PROMOTING TAMBORINE DESTINATION Tamborine Mountain is a major tourism destination, yet there is little recognition by SRRC that infrastructure must keep up with the inevitable visitation. Our tourist information centre is old and should be complemented by a new centre, possibly on Gallery Walk, yet the focus is on building a new state of the art visitor centre in Canungra. Tamborine Mountain needs proper tourism management and DGC (Destination Gold Coast) recognises this fact but SRRC continues to ignore this. 11. WATER SECURITY IN DRY TIMES The Gold Coast would address our water security issues and provide a reliable source of potable water to service our private delivery tankers in dry times, as they do in other areas such as Maudsland and Guanaba. 12. COUNCILLOR REPRESENTATION Tamborine Mountain would have more effective representation in GCCC than it does in Scenic Rim. Our councillors, in the entire history of the Mountain have not been welcome, and are always the subject of a long string of complaints from within, to try and keep them quiet. It seems that in SRRC our rates subsidise the higher standard of living in Beaudesert and elsewhere, as well as going towards fixing up wooden bridges. In Gold Coast, the Mountain would not be used to subsidise other areas but instead our rates would be returned to improve our standard of living and unique amenity and lifestyle. 13. FEDERAL HEALTH SYSTEM. Our Federal Health system (the Monash Model) recognises Tamborine Mountain as an urban centre connected to the Gold Coast. Our State Health system nominates the Gold Coast Hospital as the facility we must use for non-private Doctor referrals and ambulance admissions. 14. INDOOR HEATED AQUATIC CENTRE AT SPORTS GROUNDS. Gold Coast has multiple indoor Aquatic Centres, and more are being built this year. Scenic Rim Council will not recognise the need for such a centre on Tamborine Mountain. This year the Council took over the running and full operating costs of the Boonah heated indoor hydrotherapy pool. In Beaudesert, with a smaller town population, they enjoy a 50-metre heated swimming pool. Our pool is totally not fit for purpose yet there are no plans to address the issue. 15. NO SIGNATURE PLAYGROUND FOR TAMBORINE MOUNTAIN, BUT IT HAS THE MOST CHILDREN OF ANY COMMUNITY. Council has invested heavily in signature million-dollar type playgrounds in Boonah, Beaudesert, and Canungra, (you probably have seen them), yet Tamborine Mountain was not considered for similar infrastructure and doesn’t have one. Lions Park sought assistance from Council for a new playground, and received modest funding by comparison. However the Lions Park job was never finished, and is limited in its use because there is no toilet facility for children, parents, or grandparents. 16. NATURAL BEAUTIFICATION OF TAMBORINE MOUNTAIN. Gold Coast City has an impressive record of streetscape beautification and funds its own botanic gardens. It has the capacity to significantly assist our own botanic gardens to realise their master plan. Have you ever noticed how the Mountain, as a major tourism destination, does not have any flowers in its streetscape planted by Council, yet they are prevalent in most other towns and villages? 17. HIGH RISK TO STAY WITH SCENIC RIM. Former Councillor Phil Giffard made the point in a recent 'letter to the Editor' Scenic News (25th March 2021) that SRRC’s preference for a one- size fits all preference will ‘‘wreck our attractiveness as a residential and regional tourism resource’’ He was spot on with his observations when he headed his column, ‘‘MOUNTAIN CHARACTER AT GREATER RISK THAT EVER.’’ Scenic Rim Council actively markets itself as ‘‘One Scenic Rim’’ in all its promotions, with many asking why Council is attempting to promote ‘‘One Scenic Rim’’ and diminish the stronger brand ‘‘Tamborine Mountain’’. It even attempted to purchase the phenomenally successful Chamber of Commerce website to modify and evolve into its own ‘‘One Scenic Rim’’ promotional infrastructure. (using State Government Grant money) The tourism majors on Tamborine Mountain belong to Destination Gold Coast and many are joining this marketing arm of GCCC as they understand we are the Green behind the Gold in the Gold Coast Hinterland, and get more assistance from them. 18. SHARING OF BORDER. Tamborine Mountain shares a long border with GCCC. Drive to Eagle Heights Hotel and you are in GCCC, drive to the end of Wongawallan road and you drive into GCCC, drive to the end of Henry Robert Drive and you are in GCCC.

    Legendary Pacific Coast – 7 Days

    Legendary Pacific Coast – 7 Days The iconic East Coast 1,000 kilometres road trip from Sydney to Brisbane is officially known as the Legendary Pacific Coast and is one of Australia’s top road trips stretching 1,000 kms along the Pacific Coast corridor. Along this spectacular 1000-kilometre (621 mile) drive from Sydney to Brisbane, you will find something for all the family; stunning beaches, green rolling hills, beach and riverside towns, wineries, historic sites, the hinterland and wildlife watching. Day 1: Sydney to Newcastle (2 h 15 min 162.9 km via M1) Newcastle is Australia's second oldest city. With great beaches, ocean baths, inner city pubs and a thriving cafe scene, such as Derby street, Newcastle is a vibrant and happening place. • Two convenient ways to travel between the historical attractions and the gorgeous beaches are the Newcastle Coastal Explorer and Newcastle’s Famous Tram, a replica 1932 tram. • Alternatively, bring your bicycle or hire one and pedal from the heart of the city to the beaches and along the coast. • Refresh with a swim at Newcastle Merewether Ocean Baths. This city landmark opened in 1935 and is the largest ocean pool complex in the Southern Hemisphere. • Newcastle Memorial Walk was built to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the ANZAC landing at Gallipoli in 1915 and the commencement of steel making in Newcastle; it acts as a magnificent memorial to the men and women of the Hunter who served their community and their country. Day 2: Newcastle to Port Stephens (60.5 km via Nelson Bay Rd/B63) From sublime natural beauty to freshly caught seafood, Port Stephens is a wonderful beach escape on a sparkling blue bay.

    Item: Scenic Rim Draft LG Report Date: Last updated 11 November 2014 2014 Update of the SEQ NRM Plan: Scenic Rim How can the SEQ NRM Plan support the Community’s Vision for the future of Scenic Rim? Supporting Document no. 7 for the 2014 Update of the SEQ Natural Resource Management Plan. Note regards State Government Planning Policy: The Queensland Government is currently undertaking a review of the SEQ Regional Plan 2009. Whilst this review has yet to be finalised, the government has made it clear that the “new generation” statutory regional plans focus on the particular State Planning Policy issues that require a regionally-specific policy direction for each region. This quite focused approach to statutory regional plans compares to the broader content in previous (and the current) SEQ Regional Plan. The SEQ Natural Resource Management Plan has therefore been prepared to be consistent with the State Planning Policy.
