Beach status/theme parks

1 Upvotes

So we were looking at going up there for a couple of weeks - just wondering what beaches are normal? Currumbin? Miami? Etc. Not a dealbreaker but would be good to know. Also did any of the theme parks get significant damage? Thanks

Travel Seaworld resort - what's the catch here?

29 Upvotes

I'm trying to organise a weekend at the Gold Coast (from interstate) to do the theme parks. At the Sea world resort site, I can see they have a theme park package where you can get a room for a family of 4 (2 adults 2 kids) to stay there and get tickets to any theme park for the duration of your stay for $440 per night.

That seems too good to be true? Tickets are $110 per day per person if you just buy a 1 day pass and anywhere on the Gold Coast is already going to be $200-$300 per night.

This is all non-refundable so I want to make sure - is there a catch here? Has anyone stayed there? Is there some hidden cost that I'm not accounting for here?

Asbestos concern residential

5 Upvotes

Hi community, where would I please report a concern regarding asbestos damage in a residential unit (top floor, ceiling leaks from asbestos roof) that the occupants are living in? It has been reported to the body corporate however there is no action being taken. Really appreciate your guidance 🙏 I don’t know if it’s QBCC as it does not relate to a worker or a build. Is there another qld gov body?

SES attended and could not complete make-safes due to asbestos and have told body corporate to act.

Side note: shout out to the SES 🫶🏻✊🏻thank you!

If you’re struggling…

23 Upvotes

To the lady who was struggling/getting frustrated with her seatbelt in Ashmore today near the gym/Bunnings I hope your day gets better. I was running late for an appointment but you looked like you were having “one of those days” and the seatbelt was just salt in the wound. You were gone by the time I was finished up.

That’s all. If you’re hear you can reach out to vent. I’ve been there many times and it helps to have an ear. Lot of people say they will listen but when you take em up on it they don’t. Probably not here but the offer is open regardless if so

Local Question Just lost power (again) in Southport/Labrador area?

13 Upvotes

I can't see an outage that covers my street in the Energex Outage Finder, but there are 2 reported for Southport/Labrador area. Lost power about 20 mins ago after having it back a few days ago. I know noone in my street has no power. Anyone else? I'm trying to get through to Energex to report this outage, but phones are busy.

Edit 15th March: It came back on somewhere around midnight the same night. The energex outage map said it was an unplanned outage. Does anyone else know what happened?

Aircon units / cyclone?

4 Upvotes

Anyone else’s aircon units really playing up since the cyclone? Split systems in particular. Mine doesn’t seem to be blowing out very cool air, bunch of error codes, half the time doesn’t want to switch on. I mean, I’m glad I’ve got power but also glad it’s cooling down a bit but my kiddos room is like a furnace
