Subscriber only The developers behind one of the Coast s most controversial projects have clarified their status as supporters of one of the region s most valued organisations. Sekisui House, the firm behind the controversial five-star hotel and residential development at Yaroomba Beach, say they remain supporters of high-profile not-for-profit RACQ LifeFlight, despite no longer being a major sponsor. Eagle-eyed Sunshine Coast Airport sources recently spotted the removal of Sekisui House from the sponsors board at the LifeFlight base at Marcoola. It was understood the development firm may have ceased as a major sponsor more than 12 months ago. Sekisui House s Yaroomba Beach project director Evan Aldridge said the firm worked in collaboration with local communities where its projects were located.
Council planning staff and former CEO Michael Whittaker appeared at-odds over conditions for a rooftop bar in the Sekisui House Yaroomba Beach proposal just weeks before its approval. Internal emails released as part of a recent Sunshine Coast Council Right to Information disclosure of more than 3000 pages revealed differing opinions over the conditioning of usage for the rooftop aspect of the proposed hotel. On May 24, 2018, Mr Whittaker requested planning staff make some improvements to the presentation to be given at a workshop with councillors about a month before they voted to approve the controversial project 6-5 in a special council meeting.
