It Doesn’t Look Like An Underground Carpark!

The huge amounts of soil which have been removed from the site of the new Shopping Complex in Rawson St has left this large hole in the ground which is the future underground carpark. It now seems a further retail site is to be included in the future development of Bellvista when Stockland plans to add at least 500 lots for sale to the south of the estate beside Unity College playing grounds and to the College’s south. The new retail complex should complement the complex being built in Rawson St.

More details regarding BeCA’s recent meeting with Stockland can be found on the News & Events pages of the Beca Website. You can get to the website HERE.

Shopping Centre Construction Underway: (16/2/2010)

The photo above shows excavation commencing for the construction for the new Shopping Complex in Rawson St. The excavation is for the underground carpark which will provide more parking spaces underground than above ground.

Sunshine Coast Regional Council has set strict road safety guidelines for the corner of Lomond Cres and Rawson Avenue. The corner is to be widened and the bikeway/footpath is to be extended to 2 metres wide.

The “Photo Gallery” at the BeCA Website will keep you updated on progress.

Traffic Bankup At Unity College Pick-up Time: (2/2/2010)

These photos were taken at 3 pm on Tuesday February 2nd at the roundabout connecting Bellvista Blvd and Dumbarton Drive. The photo above left shows traffic banked up from the roundabout heading north towards Caloundra Rd. The other photo above right shows the view looking south across the roundabout back towards the school.

Current school enrolment is just over 900 students. Unity College has been designed to accommodate 1400 students.

What if ……..

You needed to get to an important appointment in Caloundra.

There was a serious medical emergency and an ambulance wanted to get the patient up Bellvista Blvd to hospital.

There was a fire and Bellvista residents had been advised to evacuate the estate.

The answer is, hope it doesn’t happen between 2:30 and 3:30 pm on a school day!

Welcome To The New member Of The Family: (10/2/2010)

Visitors to Lake Bellvista have been delighted to see the Lake’s resident swan family has a new addition! This young addition has been spotted making itself at home under the careful eye of Mum and Dad! Some residents think there may have been more cygnets in this hatching but perhaps there were lost in the recent heavy downpour which may have caused the lake water level to rise and possibly wash some of this year’s brood away.
