YADCA June 2024
2024-06-10 19:00 - 21:00 (Australia/Brisbane) | Connections Hall, 29 Low Street, YANDINA, QLD, 4561, Australia
YADCA Get-Together Monday June 10 2024 at Connections, Low St, Yandina. 7pm.
In the absence of a secretary, our YADCA get-together will be an informal discussion. We will follow a similar but less formal format where we share news and developments but our major focus will be on:

How we go about finding a secretary.
How we go forward while looking for a secretary and
How the role of secretary may be made more manageable, be it by sharing more of the load or reducing the frequency of meetings.

There is an Office of Fair Trading requirement that YADCA must have a secretary to be able to continue. I need you all to be thinking about how you can help. Do you know someone who may fill the role? Could you ask them if they would consider volunteering?
The secretary’s role involves:

Sending & receiving emails & correspondence.
Preparing meeting agendas (in consultation with the president)
Attending and taking the minutes of meetings.
Keeping a registrar of members.

I look forward to seeing you all and having a productive discussion on the way forward for YADCA.
Kind regards,
Marie

We will report on discussions we have had with Cr David Law, Mayor Rosanna Natoli and Minister Grace Grace at the SC Community Cabinet and discuss topics you raise.
We have one new member application.
Anita has prepared the latest development report and highlighted recent events. Of most interest is the aeromodelling club application which is impact assessible. Here is the consultant’s response to the many submissions received. It provides a good overall summary.
With the Yandina Street Fair just over a week away on Sunday 18 August, we are looking for volunteers to mind the YADCA display in the Yandina School of Arts.
Lastly, please consider how you can contribute to YADCA to help share the load. Our AGM is in September. Don’t be shy to nominate yourself for a position. It is vital we have a secretary. We are seriously considering reducing the role to the bare minimum. (Managering the members’ registry and managering the AGM agenda, minutes & notifications).
See you on Monday night.

YADCA June 2025
2025-06-09 19:00 - 21:00 | Connections Hall, 29 Low Street, YANDINA, QLD, 4561, Australia
Forum Monday June 9 2025 at Connections, Low St, Yandina. 7pm.
The next YADCA forum is on Monday 9 June at Connections – Baptist Church from 7.00 pm. Come and share your thoughts on local issues and get updates on current projects.
Updates
1. Raised pedestrian crossing on Old Gympie Road

Attached is a PDF of information from Cr David Law regarding an investigation into design solutions for a raised pedestrian crossing on Old Gympie Road, Yandina. Council’s Design Team would welcome community feedback at DesignServices@sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au or contact Council’s customer service and quote project number P-K8589.
2. Bunya Road, North Arm — safety concerns
Marty Hunt MP followed up on concerns raised at a recent YADCA forum about the state of Bunya Road undulations and discovered that it is a Council road.
Council responded that: “the issue appears to relate more to the angulation of the road rather than typical maintenance concerns such as cracks or potholes. Addressing this type of issue would require a full road resurfacing. However, due to the natural topography of the area, even a resurfacing may not fully resolve the problem, as the road has been constructed to follow the contours of the surrounding land rather than being completely level.
Council prioritises road resurfacing and renewal based on asset management principles, which take into account a range of factors including traffic volumes, road hierarchy, asset condition, and other relevant criteria. On average, roads are resurfaced approximately every 20 years, although this timeframe can vary depending on how well the road surface is holding up.”
3. Construction on Stockland’s Halycon Yandina over 50s community will start later this year and take 4 years to complete.

4. SCEC’s World Environment Day Festival Green Drinks features a panel discussion on ‘Designing and Building with Sustainability in Mind’.
Thursday 12 June 5.00 – 7.00 pm at Small Change Expresso in Nambour.

YADCA November 2025
2025-11-10 19:00 - 21:00 | Connections Hall, 29 Low Street, YANDINA, QLD, 4561, Australia
The next YADCA Forum is on this coming Monday 10 November 2025 at Connections, 29 Low Street Yandina, starting at 7.00 pm. All welcome.
MP Marty Hunt will be in attendance along with the Officer in Charge of the Nambour Police Station who will discuss policing matters in Yandina.
Marty will comment on power supply issues in our area and take questions from the floor.
Andrew Kardash from Halycon Stockland will give a presentation on Halycon Yandina’s plans to expand. Stockland has purchased the remaining residential zoned land between Steggalls Road and Brandons Road.
Other News:

Council has confirmed it has plans to demolish the local heritage listed Pratt truss rail bridge and Old Rattley at Chambers Crossing. We are communicating with the relevant authorities to see what can be saved of these 2 pieces of our pioneering history.There has been a minor change to the approval granted on 23 May 2019 (MCU18/0238.01) for Greenhouses at 199 / 269 Yandina Bli Bli Rd, Maroochy River 4561. It is now a strawberry growing glasshouse facility. (Berries Galore Pty Ltd plan below).
The farm will operate with 12 picking robots 24/7, blackout screens for night operations will minimise light glare. Full automation of crop picking means 162 staff car parks reduce to 66, and there will be less truck movements in and out.
The minor change is the staging of construction, internal fit-out re the automation systems.
The scale of built form remains largely unchanged in a broader context with the greenhouse height now reduced to 7m.
A development application has been lodged to replace 2 houses in Low Street with 25 townhouses for use as long or short-term accommodation (MCU25/0298 & OPW25/0446). Parking plans include 26 resident spaces and seven visitor spaces.Part of the site is subject to flooding and the report states that a combination of “engineering and architectural design solutions have been utilised to address the site’s flood constraints and hazard.” These include constructing some of the townhouses on piers to allow floodwater to flow beneath and excavating beneath an undercroft to increase flood storage capacity.
Unfortunately we don’t have anyone monitoring development applications. If you think you could spare approximately 2 hours a month to provide this service please contact me.
Membership renewals are still coming in. Please check that you have renewed your membership for 2025-26.

That’s all for now. I hope to see you on Monday night.

YADCA February 2026
2026-02-09 19:00 - 21:00 | Connections Hall, 29 Low Street, YANDINA, QLD, 4561, Australia
The first YADCA Forum for 2026 will be held on Monday February 9 at Connections, 29 Low Street Yandina, starting at 7.00 pm.
Welcome to another year of community involvement. The management committee has started to plan for 2026. Input from members would be gratefully received. We would like to have a themed discussion with a guest presenter every second month. If there is a topic you would like to raise please let me know.
Our first forum next Monday 9 February 2026 is on fire ants with members from the National Fire Ant Eradication Team giving a 30 minute presentation, follower by Q&A and conversation over coffee and cake.
This topic affects us all. No one wants fire ants on their property. They have been detected at North Arm and the biosecurity map, see below, shows the potential area of risk. Fire ants can remain underground, undetected, for 2 years and can be spread by human activity. They can also fly up to 5km and float on rafts in flood water. They are a formidable pest; hard to detect and eliminate but with the potential to disrupt our ecology and lifestyle. Bring your friends and neighbours to this public forum at the Baptist Church’s Connections hall, 29 Low Street, Yandina, starting at 7.00pm.
Development Monitor
OPW26/0018 Vehicle crossover for 92 Farrell Street. Council has been asked to consider the welfare of pedestrians where the proposed access road for 92 Farrell Street crosses the footpath to school (map below).
We are following other Development Applications but have nothing more to report at this point in time. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions.
I look forward to seeing you all next Monday.
