WEBVTT - Should Rainbow Bay Be Replaced?

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.520
<v Speaker 1>All right, So the news came out last week Rainbow

0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Bay Snapper Rocks.

0:00:03.279 --> 0:00:04.320
<v Speaker 2>They're looking at redeveloping.

0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:09.119
<v Speaker 1>In fact, they're looking at pretty much relocating it. Sixty

0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:12.080
<v Speaker 1>three years that Serf Club has been there. Yeah, and

0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Mick Fanning's already sat in the ring today saying no,

0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:20.120
<v Speaker 1>just no, losing all the car parks, losing the views.

0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:24.320
<v Speaker 1>How long it will actually take to redevelop that area,

0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:26.040
<v Speaker 1>also changing Snapper Rocks as well.

0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:27.920
<v Speaker 2>And that's down your neck of the woods.

0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:30.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we've been there quite a few times, Mike and Malders.

0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:33.360
<v Speaker 3>He's got a few mates that work there. It's a

0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:36.960
<v Speaker 3>great little place and it's the atmosphere. You go in

0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:39.920
<v Speaker 3>there on a busy Saturday or Sunday, I have a table.

0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:43.040
<v Speaker 3>The food is just great, and like you said, the

0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:47.320
<v Speaker 3>views are amazing and the atmosphere and everything is just fantastic.

0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:49.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, being as old as you are, you would

0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:52.400
<v Speaker 1>understand at sixty three there needs to be a little

0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:54.320
<v Speaker 1>bit of jouging going on, like a bit of reno,

0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:55.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, like what we need to do with you,

0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:57.640
<v Speaker 1>a bit of redoing around the edges.

0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:00.000
<v Speaker 2>You need all that kind of stuff.

0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:03.280
<v Speaker 1>I think I think you need to keep up to

0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:06.039
<v Speaker 1>date with things. But we were just discussing this affair

0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:07.560
<v Speaker 1>on the Gold Coast. What we seem to do is

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:10.440
<v Speaker 1>just rip down anything that has a history, so it

0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:13.760
<v Speaker 1>looks like the Gold Coast has no history. Everything doesn't

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:16.520
<v Speaker 1>need to be bright and sparkly and everything else. There

0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:19.399
<v Speaker 1>is beautiful history on the Gold Coast. Sixty three years

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 1>for a place. I mean, you would understand how good

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:23.880
<v Speaker 1>that it's to still be standing. So it is actually

0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:26.280
<v Speaker 1>quite good. It's quite a feat really for many people.

0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:28.639
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, I just think there's so many places

0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:31.040
<v Speaker 1>in the Gold Coast that and Kristin was talking about

0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:34.319
<v Speaker 1>this off air as well, the Pink Poodle, the Ice

0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Place down in Miami, different places, Magic Mountain, all those

0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:41.320
<v Speaker 1>places that they were here for so many years and

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 1>then they've just disappeared.

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:45.039
<v Speaker 3>And then if you do all those refurbishments they want

0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:48.080
<v Speaker 3>to do down there, will it lose the vibe or

0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:49.760
<v Speaker 3>will it be more expensive?

0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:52.320
<v Speaker 2>Will it's well there be in Akpa.

0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:54.080
<v Speaker 3>Living into a different crowd because the people that you

0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 3>see there are people that have been going there since

0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:58.720
<v Speaker 3>they were doing nippers, yeah, like with their parents. So

0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.040
<v Speaker 3>there's a bit of history there and if you change

0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:04.920
<v Speaker 3>all that up, will that change the.

0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 2>The clientele that go in there with different kind of

0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:06.400
<v Speaker 2>people the are in there?

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:07.520
<v Speaker 1>All right, we want to know what do you think

0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:11.679
<v Speaker 1>about the proposed redevelopment, relocating, knocking down of the Rainbow Bay.

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:13.680
<v Speaker 2>Surf Club and also Snapper Rocks as well.

0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:17.160
<v Speaker 1>Mick Fanning says no, I think he's spoken down with

0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Mick like I stand with Cunning. So yes, we would

0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:23.400
<v Speaker 1>love to know what you think. I mean, we're getting

0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:25.760
<v Speaker 1>a fairly resounding no. There are some people they're saying

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 1>it's time to change. You know, it happened in Burley

0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.239
<v Speaker 1>they updated that surf club and that sort of brought

0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:33.760
<v Speaker 1>in new clientel. But Gail from Tweter's what do you think?

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:37.600
<v Speaker 4>Don't you dare touch it?

0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm not doing a thing mate.

0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:43.959
<v Speaker 4>I am a third generation local. My husband has patrolled

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 4>Roambo Bay for forty years. He's a life member at

0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:51.160
<v Speaker 4>the Surf Club. The thing that people don't know the

0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:54.399
<v Speaker 4>Surf Club ha actually put in several other plans and

0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:59.000
<v Speaker 4>for some bizarre reason, they've never gone through. So yes,

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.799
<v Speaker 4>and it hasn't just been one or two plans over

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:05.760
<v Speaker 4>the last you know, four decades. Anyway, so I've actually

0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:10.040
<v Speaker 4>asked the questions of counselors. I've also asked the question

0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:15.800
<v Speaker 4>of the town planner that was there with their pop

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:19.160
<v Speaker 4>up tent about the parking. Both of them gave me

0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:23.720
<v Speaker 4>two separate answers. So, yeah, the big thing is where

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:27.880
<v Speaker 4>the patrolling members parks little alone the general public. Emergency

0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:33.440
<v Speaker 4>access is horrendous. My husband's also in emergency services. You know,

0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:37.440
<v Speaker 4>we've had several instances down there around it, Froggy, So

0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 4>imagine getting an ambulance over a footpath with toddlers running

0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:48.440
<v Speaker 4>on the Grassmerca. Yeah. So, and financially too. Neither one

0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:52.440
<v Speaker 4>of them could answer either was who maintains the bar

0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 4>and the restaurant licenses because all of that money goes

0:03:55.960 --> 0:04:00.560
<v Speaker 4>into surflight saving. So as Tom Tay going to get

0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:03.960
<v Speaker 4>another pretty little restaurant at the top of the hill Rainbow,

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 4>And you're right, Trev, you know what sort of people

0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 4>are going to go there then? And we're going to

0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:12.560
<v Speaker 4>have another siblings crowd. And I love siblings. I'm not sagging,

0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 4>but it's not the vibe. It's the first club. It's

0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:18.800
<v Speaker 4>a little treasure.

0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:22.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. When they you're talking about they wanted to do

0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.320
<v Speaker 3>refurbishments before, but nothing was done. What was What do

0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:25.920
<v Speaker 3>they want done?

0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 4>They gal, well, basically fixing it up, you know, like rain,

0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 4>that's it. Yeah, not ripping it down. It was just yeah,

0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:38.839
<v Speaker 4>she needs a bit of a nip and tuck, and

0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:41.560
<v Speaker 4>it really does.

0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:45.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm hearing a gail, you've been tucking overhaul.

0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:49.479
<v Speaker 4>Very good points, big for the driver.
