Essential workers attacked Police, teachers and health workers face innumerable challenges in their daily duties, over and above the roles their job criteria specify. Abuse by those they seek to help, exacerbates their stress. Social issues such as mental illness, homelessness, family violence, drug and alcohol abuse, poverty, child negligence and unemployment exacerbate the dysfunction of our communities. Public workers are exposed to far more than humanly possible. The great divide between the rich and poor, haves and have-nots, in a rich, first-world nation like ours, have created a class system. Governments are self-absorbed and out-of-touch. Inequity and social injustice impact our communities on the ground, detrimental to law and order and harmonious interaction between authorities and communities which feel it is them versus us .
Artificial wavepool company Surf Lakes International today revealed an exciting “work in progress” masterplan for its Yeppoon development dream, which could go way beyond the existing proposed surf lake.
In a deputation to Livingstone Shire councillors, Surf Lakes representatives revealed there was potential for a second still-water lake including an aqua park.
But wait, there’s more. Surf Lakes near Yeppoon.
Surf Lakes International founder and CEO Aaron Trevis revealed also on the drawing board was a recreational lawned area which could “dovetail” into a sporting field capable of hosting festivals and events as well.
He said bigger longer-term possibilities being looked at included a hotel on the Surf Lakes Yeppoon site which currently has an artificial wavepool that is not open to the public as yet.
