I think it s hideously ugly and dangerous, she said. If they re going to do that to prevent erosion they should have at least made it usable by covering it with grass. The small beach at Mooloolaba was once the backdrop for an iconic caravan park, but residents say it has been ruined by an âuglyâ seawall. The stretch of beach parallel to The Esplanade was once the location of a popular caravan park but was changed to a carpark in 2017. It was always so vibrant with the caravan park down here but now I think this is just going to be a useless space, Ms Nixon said.
The strategy identifies areas at risk of coastal hazards, including sea level rise, storm tide inundation, flooding and erosion. It outlines ways to manage risks, ranging from where buried seawalls could be built to enhancing dune protections and offering training and education about coastal hazards. During the special meeting held on Monday to adopt the strategy, Division 9 councillor Jason O Pray pointed to the significant erosion at Maroochydore Beach to Alexandra Headland in 2011 as an example of why coastal hazards must be managed. For those who can cast our minds back to 2011 when there was no sand between Alexandra Headland and Maroochydore, it was devastating, it was a tourism and economic disaster, he said.
In total there was 12,900 buildings impacted, he said. He said Energex safety devices tripped multiple power lines coming from the Alexandra Headland power station. As to the reason why there has been some form of issue that has occurred but thankfully it has allowed us to get the power back up and running quickly, he said. We are still investigating as to why. alexandra headland
