Speaker 1: All right, So the news came out last week Rainbow
Speaker 1: Bay Snapper Rocks.
Speaker 2: They're looking at redeveloping.
Speaker 1: In fact, they're looking at pretty much relocating it. Sixty
Speaker 1: three years that Serf Club has been there. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: Mick Fanning's already sat in the ring today saying no,
Speaker 1: just no, losing all the car parks, losing the views.
Speaker 1: How long it will actually take to redevelop that area,
Speaker 1: also changing Snapper Rocks as well.
Speaker 2: And that's down your neck of the woods.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've been there quite a few times, Mike and Malders.
Speaker 3: He's got a few mates that work there. It's a
Speaker 3: great little place and it's the atmosphere. You go in
Speaker 3: there on a busy Saturday or Sunday, I have a table.
Speaker 3: The food is just great, and like you said, the
Speaker 3: views are amazing and the atmosphere and everything is just fantastic.
Speaker 1: I mean, being as old as you are, you would
Speaker 1: understand at sixty three there needs to be a little
Speaker 1: bit of jouging going on, like a bit of reno,
Speaker 1: you know, like what we need to do with you,
Speaker 1: a bit of redoing around the edges.
Speaker 2: You need all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: I think I think you need to keep up to
Speaker 1: date with things. But we were just discussing this affair
Speaker 1: on the Gold Coast. What we seem to do is
Speaker 1: just rip down anything that has a history, so it
Speaker 1: looks like the Gold Coast has no history. Everything doesn't
Speaker 1: need to be bright and sparkly and everything else. There
Speaker 1: is beautiful history on the Gold Coast. Sixty three years
Speaker 1: for a place. I mean, you would understand how good
Speaker 1: that it's to still be standing. So it is actually
Speaker 1: quite good. It's quite a feat really for many people.
Speaker 1: But I mean, I just think there's so many places
Speaker 1: in the Gold Coast that and Kristin was talking about
Speaker 1: this off air as well, the Pink Poodle, the Ice
Speaker 1: Place down in Miami, different places, Magic Mountain, all those
Speaker 1: places that they were here for so many years and
Speaker 1: then they've just disappeared.
Speaker 3: And then if you do all those refurbishments they want
Speaker 3: to do down there, will it lose the vibe or
Speaker 3: will it be more expensive?
Speaker 2: Will it's well there be in Akpa.
Speaker 3: Living into a different crowd because the people that you
Speaker 3: see there are people that have been going there since
Speaker 3: they were doing nippers, yeah, like with their parents. So
Speaker 3: there's a bit of history there and if you change
Speaker 3: all that up, will that change the.
Speaker 2: The clientele that go in there with different kind of
Speaker 2: people the are in there?
Speaker 1: All right, we want to know what do you think
Speaker 1: about the proposed redevelopment, relocating, knocking down of the Rainbow Bay.
Speaker 2: Surf Club and also Snapper Rocks as well.
Speaker 1: Mick Fanning says no, I think he's spoken down with
Speaker 1: Mick like I stand with Cunning. So yes, we would
Speaker 1: love to know what you think. I mean, we're getting
Speaker 1: a fairly resounding no. There are some people they're saying
Speaker 1: it's time to change. You know, it happened in Burley
Speaker 1: they updated that surf club and that sort of brought
Speaker 1: in new clientel. But Gail from Tweter's what do you think?
Speaker 4: Don't you dare touch it?
Speaker 2: I'm not doing a thing mate.
Speaker 4: I am a third generation local. My husband has patrolled
Speaker 4: Roambo Bay for forty years. He's a life member at
Speaker 4: the Surf Club. The thing that people don't know the
Speaker 4: Surf Club ha actually put in several other plans and
Speaker 4: for some bizarre reason, they've never gone through. So yes,
Speaker 4: and it hasn't just been one or two plans over
Speaker 4: the last you know, four decades. Anyway, so I've actually
Speaker 4: asked the questions of counselors. I've also asked the question
Speaker 4: of the town planner that was there with their pop
Speaker 4: up tent about the parking. Both of them gave me
Speaker 4: two separate answers. So, yeah, the big thing is where
Speaker 4: the patrolling members parks little alone the general public. Emergency
Speaker 4: access is horrendous. My husband's also in emergency services. You know,
Speaker 4: we've had several instances down there around it, Froggy, So
Speaker 4: imagine getting an ambulance over a footpath with toddlers running
Speaker 4: on the Grassmerca. Yeah. So, and financially too. Neither one
Speaker 4: of them could answer either was who maintains the bar
Speaker 4: and the restaurant licenses because all of that money goes
Speaker 4: into surflight saving. So as Tom Tay going to get
Speaker 4: another pretty little restaurant at the top of the hill Rainbow,
Speaker 4: And you're right, Trev, you know what sort of people
Speaker 4: are going to go there then? And we're going to
Speaker 4: have another siblings crowd. And I love siblings. I'm not sagging,
Speaker 4: but it's not the vibe. It's the first club. It's
Speaker 4: a little treasure.
Speaker 3: Yeah. When they you're talking about they wanted to do
Speaker 3: refurbishments before, but nothing was done. What was What do
Speaker 3: they want done?
Speaker 4: They gal, well, basically fixing it up, you know, like rain,
Speaker 4: that's it. Yeah, not ripping it down. It was just yeah,
Speaker 4: she needs a bit of a nip and tuck, and
Speaker 4: it really does.
Speaker 2: I'm hearing a gail, you've been tucking overhaul.
Speaker 4: Very good points, big for the driver.
