Sunshine Coast Wavepool (Timeline)
Hi, just joined so I could try and get in contact with you. I'm presently writing a book on the history of punk in Australia up to '99 and conducted over 200 interviews. My knowledge of Gold Coast's scene though is admittedly a little meagre and I came across a post of yours from last year listing bands I was unaware of. Was hoping that I could possibly use some of your knowledge. If you're interested my email is: t_clark (at) hotmail (dot) com (dot) au
Or phone: 0402306569
Cheers, Tristan

Yepoon wave pool looking to open up to public
"The current scenario with COVID-19 is not allowing surfers to travel to overseas destinations, so it's a fantastic opportunity for us to put forward to see if we can open it to the public."

Developer Sanad Capital, which already has approval for the long-awaited tourism drawcard, this week lodged major infrastructure plans for the site on Steve Irwin Way at Glenview. This encapsulates bulk earthworks, civil works, drainage, stormwater, vegetation clearing, road access and carparking and could mean a project start date is just months away.
Sanad’s plans incorporate a 160-villa family resort called Invigorate, a water park (Actventure) and wave pool (Endless Surf). Sunshine Coast Council will now have 45 working days to look at the infrastructure plans and then the more detailed design work on buildings will follow. Mr Sutherland said much already had been done on this and he hoped the detailed design would be signed off by the end of September.
“We want to work on many of the elements simultaneously and open everything at Christmas in 2023.’’
“In accordance with council’s approval and before construction can commence, a number of further permits and infrastructure is required.”

Just 20km south, at Moby Vic’s Glass House Mountains, the wave pool project proposed by Surf Parks Australia also is advancing. It is applying for a material change of use that would allow two rural-zoned parcels to be used for tourism. The Public Notification period, where people can make submissions, is underway.
----------
Not much detail on the wavepool.
Is Endless Surf the Webber wavepool?

A wave park at Glass House Mountains – the second proposed for the Sunshine Coast – is riding a wave of popularity, sailing through its public notification phase.
The Glass House attraction would incorporate the latest artificial wave-generating technology from American Wave Machines, which has a Surf Ranch in Waco.

The patented heart-shaped Sunshine Coast pool will be similar to one currently being built in Paris and another used during the Tokyo Olympics. Glenview will get the biggest of the firm’s three models, which measures 282m by 84.5m.
“The ability to precisely control the angle of the wave’s face determines the speed, from a gentle beginner wave (2 feet or .61m) to a powerful 7 feet (2.1m) barrelling wave.’’
Ride times range from 10 seconds to 26 seconds and the multiple zones can accommodate up to 75 surfers an hour, with each surfer catching dozens of waves.

Making waves on Steve Irwin Way: what the cutting-edge Endless Surf attraction will look like
https://www.sunshinecoastnews.com.au/2021/11/11/endless-surf-attraction-...
----------
The surf pool has been designed by Canadian firm, WhiteWater, which will send a team of experts to oversee the installation as the project develops. The patented Sunshine Coast pool will be similar to one the company is building in Paris and another used during the Tokyo Olympics.
Glenview will get the biggest of the firm’s three models, which measures 282m by 84.5m. Endless Surf is a surfer’s dream of on-demand waves. Using a special program called the Wave Doctor, wave patterns can be changed in real-time based, on the session requirements and guests in the pool.
The ability to precisely control the angle of the wave’s face determines the speed – from a gentle beginner wave (2 feet or 0.61m) to a powerful 7 feet (2.1m) barrelling wave. Ride times range from 10 to 26 seconds and the multiple zones can accommodate up to 75 surfers an hour, with each surfer catching dozens of waves.

Be plenty of new punters.
It’s already looking ghastly around the hospital and the new developments at Bokarina.
Thankfully I moved to the northern hinterland years ago but as everywhere it’s population has grown.

----------
Prominent civil contracting company, Shadforth, has been secured to complete the civil works, which will commence in coming weeks after being delayed by recent bad weather. “We hope we will be surfing in late 2023.” He said the pool would be 288m long and 80m wide. Developer Sanad Capital’s plans for the Glenview site also include 51 two and three-bedroom “lakeside” apartments, 23 three-bedroom “surfside” short-term accommodation units, food and retail outlets, a microbrewery and open-air cinema.

Looks unreal!
The world needs more genuine eco-developments like that one.
And the pièce de résistance, a microbrewery and ample parking!
Yeew!
Great work there TBB, very interesting about the grants.
GL with the drama
Great find TBB. Council's so full of shit, every decision purely based on money money money.

Well - maybe, maybe not but given the highway upgrade to the start of Steve Irwin way and the thousands of homes going in across the way which will have a road almost directly to this park...that definitely is lifestyle changing if you live within the current beauty of the glass house mountains.
Caloundra is still a bit of a dump though. (A nice dump).
