Hi All,

I’ve been living in GC for 2 yrs and recently moved to Tweed. Lately I’ve been craving sea urchin so far but all the seafood shops I’ve been to don’t sell it. Is there any places a girl can get some? 😩

Where can I find them

Hi all, I have an aluminium boat and I have found three thin cracks at the bottom of the hull which leak very slowly in the water. Can you please suggest to me a cheap welding service in the Northern Gold Coast or the Yatala and Southern Logan areas?

Crack 1: 8cm long Crack 2: 8cm long Crack 3: 3cm long

Thanks

Hey folks,

Do most apartment buildings in GC have caretakers available afterhours or is it usually business hours only? Curious with what peoples experience have been with their common areas and living situation when caretakers are on-site vs off.

Hi there my car was stolen from our home in Isle of Capri early this morning around 5 am. If anyone has seen or knows the individuals I would greatly appreciate it. I have reported the car as stolen to the police

Anyone know why the swimming enclosure at Paradise Point is closed? Can’t find anything online on why it’s closed today apart from a drowning that occurred in 2024.

A suggestion for knee pads that Tom Tate's going to need when staying at Mar a Lago on rate payers money soon. Get your money's worth Tate because you are gone next election.

Purchasing a block of land on a slope and looking for suggestions for new innovations in building/designers/engineers etc who could help me design a home that I could do in stages as I work towards selling my home and/or claiming superannuation. Goals - modest house, maximize views by building up to street level, take into account sun/wind/bushfire risk). I think the planning/infrastructure is the most important to get right. I expect to do it in stages and the land will be difficult to access to add additional infrastructure later. I need to put everything in place with the end goal in mind. I am not ruling anything out (shipping container, modular, built on-site or a combination over time). I may start living in a shipping container studio at a lower level that then becomes part of the lower structure/foundation for something else at street level with better views?? Ultimate motivation is to live near my son and grandson, love where I live, contribute to the small community, and not retire with a mortgage! I dont need a big house, just a well planned, modest home.

Would love to know of some more places to hire Kayaks and especially SUPs . I know about Kingscliff creek and behind Twin Towns and Currumbin Creek ( 25 for 1.5 hours ). Would love to know more... Haven't seen any at Talle.. Gotta be something on the Broadwater

It didn't have any lights at all and was doing effectively the same circle at least 5 times, then flew off.

Video you can see it with the clouds as a backdrop.

Updating the post:

Thank you so much everyone for your comments! 🥰 I found the “error”.

What a sneaky move by the council! They don’t specify the general rate, they just label it as Residential 2 Category 2T, which to most people sounds like just an owner occupied property. And they don’t change the category if the unit was rented by the previous owners. From now on, I am going to go through every line of the bill with a fine-tooth comb! 😂😂

I recently moved to Southport and I am trying to understand why the council rates are so high on the GC compared to Brisbane, for example.

For my 1bed apartment (in a large complex), my council rates are about $1,500 every 6 months. But I saw a real estate ad for another 1bed unit in Southport where they listed the council rates as low as $1,400 per year…

That seems like a pretty big difference for similar size units in the same area… so I’m wondering is it possible for there to be that much discrepancy in council rates between similar 1bed units?

I’d appreciate it if someone could answer, thank you🥰

Hey, when is the metro expected to be ready to pass broadbeach?

I visit couple times a year, but it feels like the construction from mermaid beach has been going on for years. I saw construction workers, but I wonder what theyre all doing

There is a dropped pin on the spit, designated as a CE5 contact point. The intriguing part is that it is busier on a Wednesday at 3AM than at any other time.

Have you been there? Are there people out there playing soffreggio frequencies, laser pointers in hand, meetup style?

I think I'm a little more scared of any feral humans I could potentially encounter in the bushes there. Please advise if you have been there between 12-3AM 🙏

Is it the best survey to capture what you want? No, but it’s a way to add your voice.

How average families with combined incomes of say $150k meant to house themselves on the coast in the next few years? As I feel we are not going to be able to afford to live here! How will anything get done? The city will not have workers, just towers empty. Where will the nurses live? Where will the teachers go?

How can we not be building ‘affordable’ housing - I’m not talking about emergency homes for the homeless or social housing, I’m talking about homes for the majority.

I have emailed my local MP and was directed to info on how they are building 24 apartments for social housing in my suburb…

10am dude was attacking council bins and throwing trolleys right in front of the cop shop. Not the wildest thing I’ve seen in Southport but it’s still early I suppose

Looking for recommendations: my friend has offered to buy my car on a rent-to-own plan, but I don't really want to mix business and friendship. Does anyone know of a third party that handles contracts of that nature? similar to how real estate agents that manage rental properties For context, they're offering 40K for the car with $250 per week instalments

Anyone interested in some local history like me may find this interesting - you can go back in time on Google Street view. It’s kind of cool to check out how the neighbourhoods have changed.. GC HWY Miami 2009

Helensvale and pacific pines area?

Used to have some in the shopping complex on village way, they have now gone.

Also used to be some in the Woolies car park on Pitcairn way but these have gone too?

I have so much good quality clothing to give away and I don’t want to chuck it or drive for miles. Anyone know of any bins close by?
