    1. Hi Peter. Thank you so much for your reply to the article. Are you opposed to high-rise buildings in Hervey Bay in general or just in certain parts of the city – like along the Esplanade etc?

    2. I think it is disgusting destroying this beautiful town to accomodate what the people who have just moved away from such an overgrown environment want. If people NEED concrete, then move the cities inland like America have. Build cities in the Outback, where no one can see them and leave the local fauna and wildlife ALONE

  2. Turning this BEAUTIFUL place into another over concreted lifeless and soulless town will be it’s down fall. The way it is is why people come here, holiday here live here. Why would you holiday in a place that looks like everywhere else. LEAVE IT ALONE

    1. Hi Sallie,

      Thank you so much for your comments. It’s great that people are able to share their different opinions on developments etc?

      I’m interested in whether your criticism on the project is based on the look of potential new developments at all? Many are looking forward to help the region cope with an increasing population, for example. This is obviously not a problem faced only by Hervey Bay / Fraser Coast but by Australia and indeed the global population continues to increase.

      Surely looking to build up would (hopefully) result in less land needing to be developed in the short-term – meaning a better outcome for fauna and flora, as you point out?

      Thanks again for the feedback,
      Shaun

      Thanks so much,
      Shaun
