the display does not suit the aesthetic of the waterfront complex. Wendy Rand, a grandmother from Paradise Point on the Gold Coast, is standing her ground after her apartment building's body corporate received a complaint about her cheerful display of rubber ducks. The colourful collection, which has become a popular attraction for passers-by and neighbours, was criticised by one resident who claimed it did not fit the aesthetic of the luxury waterfront complex.
Under body corporate rules, complaints must be formally considered, prompting discussions about whether the display should be removed. Rand said she has been overwhelmed by public support after the dispute gained attention on social media and national television. She argues the display brings joy to the community, with many visitors stopping to photograph and admire the ducks.
She plans to keep the ducks in place until she receives a written directive to remove them. If required, Rand says she will relocate the collection to a ledge above her property that is not part of the shared common area, ensuring the beloved rubber ducks can continue delighting residents and visitors alike.
