THANK YOU, CALOUNDRA!
Take Action for Pumicestone Passage would like to sincerely thank the Caloundra Residents Association and Sunshine Coast Council for last night’s well-attended combined community meeting on the proposed Diamond Head Seawall.
Thank you to Council’s coastal engineering and coastal hazard adaptation representatives, together with the Alluvium team, for presenting the project information and responding to questions from our community.
I remain incredibly disappointed that a respiratory infection kept me away from a meeting I had so desperately wanted to attend—particularly after helping to organise the evening and preparing TAPP’s presentation.
However, keeping my germs at home was unquestionably the responsible decision!
I am enormously grateful to our wonderful volunteer Ryley Delaney, who stepped up at short notice to present on my behalf and co-MC the meeting alongside Elisa Weiser.
Congratulations to Elisa, who has very deservedly been re-elected as President of the Caloundra Residents Association for another year.
TAPP values the opportunity to collaborate with CRA and support informed, respectful community discussion about the future of our coastline.
Most importantly, thank you to everyone who attended.
The strong turnout demonstrated just how deeply our community cares about Diamond Head, Golden Beach and the long-term resilience of the Pumicestone Passage.
Over the coming weeks & month, TAPP will consider the information presented and release our formal position as the Diamond Head Seawall project progresses through Phase 2 and Phase 3.
Our position will continue to be guided by evidence, community values and a commitment to exploring nature-based and hybrid coastal adaptation wherever appropriate:
Pilot where possible.
Engineer where necessary.
Learn from both.
