​
Mass Transit is included as part of these plans, yet it is unlikely to occur.
​
Council documents released for public consultation continually reference "rapid transit stations", yet there is no guarantee this public transport infrastructure will be delivered within the time frame of this Planning Scheme.
" A series of local rapid transit stations provide fast and convenient connections for residents and visitors to Maroochydore and south the Kawana Waters and Caloundra and are a catalyst for targeted development"

This is what is proposed for residential streets in Mooloolaba
Once rezoned you will not be able to build a house or duplex in these residential streets unless you go through the lengthy and expensive "impact assessable" process.
This is what is proposed for Brisbane Road
This is what is proposed for Mooloolaba Foreshore
Mooloolaba foreshore is an example of once something is rezoned to high-rise, it just keeps getting higher and higher!
The same is happending in Alexandra Headland.
