Currumbin is a unique part of the Gold Coast for its village feel and preserved forested cliffs and ridges.  It is home to the world renowned Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary and the iconic Elephant Rock, which hosts the annual Anzac Day ceremony on 25 April each year.

Save Currumbin’s main mission is to provide the community with information,  insight and a voice on high rise developments that threaten to damage or destroy the vegetated hills and ridges and ruin the village feel of this special suburb.  This is particularly important along the Pacific Parade beachfront, which is enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of members of the public each year.

Despite a 3 storey height limit along this strip, developer’s  with time, knowledge and money push the Gold Coast City council to their limit, using clever strategies to leverage the forested cliffs to get around the height restriction.

Proposed Development at 776 Pacific Parade

To everyone's disbelief, on the 11th of February, the Gold Coast City Council approved this 7-storey high rise at 776 Pacific Parade by John Fuglsang Developments Pty Ltd - right opposite our iconic beach.
It got through as code assessable only because it was deemed to be a 3-storey building.
This 7-storey will dominate skyline and obstruct a key part of our green ridgeline which gives our beloved Currumbin its unique sense of place.

IS THIS WHAT WE WANT TO SEE FROM THE BEACH EVERY DAY?

SEND A MESSAGE THAT THIS IS NOT OKAY!

Say "IT'S NOT OKAY"

  • To build a 7 Storey building in a 3-storey zone
  • To leverage the Currumbin Hill escarpment to avoid public scrutiny that only comes with Impact Assessment
  • To jack up a building by artificially using voids that allegedly don't count as storeys
  • To worsen our parking by reducing the number of car bays required from 10 to 8 only.
  • To make a mockery of the Ridge and Significant Hills Overlay Code meant to protect the topography by allowing a few pot plants on the balconies
  • To tick off on the requirement to have a shop for public amenity by allowing a token 20sqm shop

Our Mission
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. 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.




Keep Currumbin Green & Family Friendly



The main mission of Save Currumbin is to inform and empower the community to challenge DA's that try to over develop and to continue to lobby Council and State government to adopt policies, laws and administrative decisions that preserve the vegetated cliff and village feel of Currumbin. The time is now, do not let our beloved Currumbin suffer the same fate as Surfers, Palm Beach or Burleigh... Get involved now to help us save our green corridor to the see free from over development.
