I just posted this in the Windsurfing forum but you guys are no doubt interested too.
Draft Master Plan has been released. Read the full report because the executive summary is useless.

From my quick review it appears to work for our needs, though it is a little concerning that no mention is made of windsports in the paper, so if we don't speak up our interests could be affected as the planning process is ongoing.
There is a proposal to redevelop the surf club and provide better beach access, so that appears to be good for us. There is no guarantee our rigging area will remain. There is a slightly concerning proposal for a 50m pool but it appears to be intended to be set back a good distance from the beach and more towards Brighton Road.

Would be good if they sacrificed some more of the sacred sand dunes. Open up a grassy area to the beach, similar to City Beach. This would be good for rigging up though kites would have to be launched and landed from the water’s edge still.
