Currumbin is unique to the Gold Coast for its village feel, vegetated hills, cliffs and ridges that bring tropical rainforest and its animals to an iconic family friendly beach . It is the site of world renown Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary.

The Gold Coast City Council [GCCC] has invited community consultation on proposed changes to the City Plan.

But we only have two weeks to make professional written submissions not only on what's wrong with those proposed amendments but also what's wrong in the current City Plan such as the ridiculous 15 metre building height overlay that trumps 3 storey limits demanded by the community and ignores the Ridges and significant hills protection overlay code.

Residents visitors to Currumbin Beach community and environmental groups do not want our beach suburb to go the way of Palm Beach which has seen rampant over development or become a Surfers Paradise or Broadbeach high rise late night adult entertainment bar and restaurant precinct.

We have enough venues to cater for residents and tourists who come to Currumbin for family holidays. We do not want to lose our green vegetated cliffs and the animals that depend on them to high rise apartment complexes that ruin amenity and take scarce public car parks to one of the most popular beaches in the country.
