  • The Meaning of Yaroomba II
    Revisiting the place name meaning of Yaroomba The Gaiarbau, ‘bunya country’ and ‘thick vine scrub’ connections (by Kerry Jones, Arnold Jones, Sean Fleischfresser, Rodney Jones, Lore?a Algar, Helen Jones & Genevieve Jones) The Sunshine Coast region, fiHy years ago, may have had the greatest use of place names within Queensland derived from Aboriginal language words, according to researcher, E.G. Heap’s 1966 local history arQcle, ‘In the Wake of the Rasmen’. In the early days of colonisaon, local waterways were used to transport logs and Qmber, with the use of Aboriginal labour, therefore the term ‘rasmen’. Windolf (1986, p.2) notes that historically, the term ‘Coolum District’ included all the areas of Coolum Beach, Point Arkwright, Yaroomba, Mount Coolum, Marcoola, Mudjimba, Pacific Paradise and Peregian. In the 1960’s it was near impossible to take transport to and access or communicate with these areas, and made that much more difficult by wet or extreme weather. Around this Qme the Sunshine Coast Airport site (formerly the Maroochy Airport) having Mount Coolum as its backdrop, was sQll a Naonal Park (QPWS 1999, p. 3). Figure 1 - 1925 view of coastline including Mount Coolum, Yaroomba & Mudjimba Island north of the Maroochy Estuary In October 2014 the inaugural Yaroomba Celebrates fesQval, overlooking Yaroomba Beach, saw local Gubbi Gubbi (Kabi Kabi) TradiQonal Owner, Lyndon Davis, performing with the yi’di’ki (didgeridoo), give a very warm welcome. While talking about Yaroomba, Lyndon stated this area too was and is ‘bunya country’. Windolf (1986, p.8) writes about the first Qmber-ge?ers who came to the ‘Coolum District’ in the 1860’s.

  • Sustainability
    CoastConnect Caloundra to Maroochydore Concept Design and Impact Management Plan 3. Sustainability 3.1 Introduction Sustainability is a concept that aims to integrate the principles of environmental conservation, social equity and economic development in any human activity. Over recent years, sustainability has evolved as a central theme influencing the delivery of all major public and private sector projects. The concept of sustainability becomes particularly important when it comes to a large-scale future-oriented venture, such as a major transport infrastructure project. Such projects contain both opportunities and risks for sustainability. While such ventures provide an opportunity to project our aspirations for sustainability into the future, owing to their scale, they are also likely to be associated with greater impacts if sustainability principles are not duly considered. To optimise sustainability outcomes it is critical that sustainability principles are applied throughout the project from inception through to operation. The concept of sustainability has been central to the CoastConnect – Caloundra to Maroochydore quality bus corridor project (CoastConnect) and has been addressed by various technical disciplines involved in the project to date. The following chapter aims to: provide an assessment of the CoastConnect project to date against key sustainability principles for transport infrastructure provide recommendations on how to optimise sustainability outcomes in the following phases of the project. 3.1.1 Sustainability framework for transport infrastructure The philosophy of sustainability has been increasingly embraced by government and non- government agencies. Chapter 14 (Land use planning) discusses the policy and legislative requirements that apply to the CoastConnect project. The following identifies recent government and non-government initiatives that provide further direction on how the concept of sustainability could be applied to CoastConnect.
