Image
The Gold Coast secret may have been out for years, but the residents of the Gold Coast suburb of Benowa believe their piece of paradise remains something of a hidden gem. While the oceanfront from Main Beach to Coolangatta captures more than its share of the booming Gold Coast property headlines , there are suburbs within cooee of the sea that offer a special combination of lifestyle and economic advantage.

Adopt James Island moratorium | Editorials

It will take a supermajority of Charleston City Council votes tonight to approve a badly needed six- month moratorium on large new developments on James Island. Council members should not hesitate to lend their wholehearted support. The Town of James Island unanimously passed a moratorium in May. So did City Council, although the city Planning Commission rejected it in June. County Council inexplicably has remained largely silent on the issue.

That strategy must involve infrastructure upgrades , like pushing forward the stalled but crucial Rethink Folly Road plan in coo...

'Now we can be out and be active, and be safe.' - Brittany Tibbo The $10-million Kenmount Terrace Community Park comes after years of complaints from residents who felt the relatively new neighbourhood lacked the green space and walking trails they were promised during the early years of development. But following a two- year engagement process and the creation of a steering committed made up of residents, the park is now set to become a reality. The cost for the new park is being shared equally between the provincial government and the city of St. John's.
