Major redesign proposed for holiday park on Sunshine Coast
Original source: Sunshine Coast News

A revised redevelopment plan for the former Golden Beach Holiday Park, closed in February 2026, has been submitted to Sunshine Coast Council. The proposal replaces an earlier single-tower concept with four residential buildings up to 18 meters (six stories) containing 220 two- and three-bedroom apartments. The plan would remove 55 campsites, which the applicant argues represents 2.7% of coastal tourist park supply in the region, with negligible impact. The project includes 20% of apartments (about 36) at below-market rent for 10 years and 25% (about 55) at 25% below market rent for 25 years. Public submissions close on June 9.

Holiday park changes spark petition

A petition has been launched over changes at Cotton Tree Family Holiday Park, with a long-time visitor calling for the reinstatement of an amenities block and a review of site fees. Shane Croasdale, who has visited for 17 years, claims the removal of the block has forced guests to walk 200 meters at night and that fees have risen by at least 25%. The Sunshine Coast Council disputes the fee increase, saying it ranged from 4% to 20%, and cites maintenance issues as the reason for the block's removal.

Queanbeyan council reviews parking policy for motorhomes and caravans

Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council (QPRC) in southern NSW has released a draft parking enforcement policy for public consultation. The revised policy introduces a one-hour limit for vehicles longer than 7.5 metres or with a gross vehicle mass over 4.5 tonnes in built-up areas. The council says the provision addresses amenity issues rather than safety. Consultation is open until 8 October.

Queensland Police investigate caravan theft in Emerald

Detectives have released CCTV footage and are seeking public assistance after a caravan was stolen in Emerald earlier this month. Around 11:30pm on Wednesday 2 September, a blue utility attended a vacant block on Ballard Street, where the caravan had been parked for three months and secured with a padlock. The suspects hooked up the 22-foot brown 2020 Leader Gold caravan and drove away; the caravan is unregistered and remains outstanding. Police urge anyone who recognises the blue utility or has information to contact them.
