Dozens of people and neighbours who live in the Aqua Bay area are protesting the Butler Group’s development plan of building a high-rise 38-apartment condo among low-rise condos on Seven Mile Beach. The highest structure allowed by the Development and Planning Regulations 2022 is not more than 10 storeys tall. The new Aqua Bay plan describes two levels of rooftop structures and an underground parking garage, thus adding three more levels to the 10 allowed. Will the Butler Group be permitted to build the tall apartment block, plus shoring up the Seven Mile beachfront on the 1.4-acre plot the old Aqua Bay condos sit on today? The protesters have good reason to protest the Butler Group plan in their neighbourhood. Will [they] be listened to?
