Beerwah intersection set for upgrade Crews are ready to hit the ground running on the $2.5 million upgrade to the intersection at Steve Irwin Way and Roys Road in Beerwah. Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said works would start next week on major resurfacing at the intersection. “The Palaszczuk Government is delivering more than $2.9 billion in roads and transport infrastructure for the Sunshine Coast and greater North Coast region over the next four years,” Mr Bailey said. “This is a key intersection for the Beerwah community, providing access to the Bruce Highway, Woodford, Kilcoy and the Sunshine Coast hinterland.
“This upgrade will drive road safety forward for the thousands of motorists who use Steve Irwin Way each day and will complement that $812.5 million Bruce Highway upgrade from Caloundra Road to the Sunshine Motorway," Mr Bailey said. Works will be carried out between 6pm and 6am to minimise impacts on motorists and residents as much as possible. Traffic controllers, reduced speed limits and road signs will be in place to ensure the safety of motorists and road workers. Motorists should observe all signs when approaching the road works.
Glenview waterpark update The long-awaited water park (called Actventure) on Steve Irwin Way at Glenview is back on the radar, with fresh development application changes submitted to Sunshine Coast Council last week. In a fresh submission to council, the developer, Sanad Capital, has applied to amend the development application (MCU14/0098.02) to reflect recent changes under state legislation. In a cover letter, the developer’s town planning consultants (Adams and Sparkes) noted that they had discussions with the State Assessment and Referral Agency (SARA) and that, in their opinion, council now had less control over the approval than prior to the changes. “It is noted that the provisions of the former Sustainable Planning Regulation 2009 have now changed under the Planning Regulation 2017,” they wrote. “This change has resulted in the application now

requiring referral to the State Assessment and Referral Agency, which will subsequently reduce the matters council are required to assess.” It appears that the developer is preparing for onground action. The cover letter said: “We would also appreciate council’s expedited issue of the confirmation notice, so that the necessary referral to the state can be made. We note that timing is critical, as our client is intending on lodging the next stage within the coming weeks, so we greatly appreciate council’s cooperation.” The developer also continues to dispute the amount of stormwater infrastructure charges imposed by council under the original approval, which is currently before the Planning and Environment Court and is due to be heard again after June 1. Results of the court case will be published by GC&M News as they come to hand.
