'Illegal' buildings on ANOTHER Bali beach set to be cleared - just days after the bulldozers were sent in at another resort hotspot
Another entire row of popular beachside restaurants in Bali are set to be knocked down as the government cracks down on unauthorised establishments. Balangan Beach, in Ungasan near Kuta, will have 23 of its restaurants removed immediately by the Indonesian island's Satpol PP authority in August. The buildings have been found to violate coastal zoning laws by being constructed on the beach's setback area. This follows a similar demolition in Bingin Beach, in Pecatu, where other illegal structures were torn down beginning in mid-July. Head of Satpol PP, Dewa Nyoman Rai Darmadi, said the department will move forward with Balangan Beach demolitions once it is done cleaning up Bingin Beach. Bali's Provincial Council (DPRD) is advising the outfit on how best to approach the destruction and is currently finalising data in order to create its plan. Governor I Wayan Koster said his government is committed to removing all illegal tourism buildings across nine locations on the island. Forty-eight local businesses have already been served demolition notices along Bingin Beach due to their violation of planning laws and building regulations. Mr Darmadi warned business owners and officials not to 'play games' with the law. 'We're currently collecting data on Balangan Beach,' he said. 'It's the same situation as Bingin Beach - these were built on the beach's sandy area. 'We ask for patience while we complete and gather data from the joint task force.' Governor Koster said he will not publicly disclosed the nine locations singled out by his administration until the DPRD approves of their destruction. He said direct field observations have verified that each location contains illegal structures. The DPRD is still debating whether or not more sites need to be added to its list of areas operating illegally. 'If there are any more sites identified and recommended for action, I will follow up immediately,' the Governor said on Monday. Business owners around Bingin Beach spent weeks fighting for survival after the Badung Regency Government announced its demolition orders. Despite their efforts multiple videos captured dozens of officials in high-vis gear and hard hats storming into businesses on Monday. One clip showed Bali Governor Wayan Koster proudly smashing at a door with a hammer while surrounded by media crews and delighted officials. Governor Koster said he attended the demolition to send a message and prove to people he was not 'playing games'. 'I wanted to make it clear to all ranks not to play around - because I know some have been doing just that,' he said. 'This is also a message to irresponsible tourism business operators; do not play around. Do not break the rules.' Tourists who had bookings at Bingin Beach hotels, villas and homestays were made to find alternative accommodation after the sudden demolition announcement. Badung PP Police head Gusti Agung Ketut Suryanegara said the business owners knew they had no planning permission to build on land that was not theirs. 'Our community in Pecatu is very aware that they carry out activities on the land,' he said. 'So I hope no one comes to say this and that, pretending to be a saviour, to be a hero. 'People are aware when building on land that does not belong to them, so it is natural for them to leave the land.' Bali Police deployed 500 officers to ensure the demolitions went down smoothly.

Montreal Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki and wife Caitlin share intimate wedding photos: 'Just the two of us, forever'
The couple tied the knot earlier in June during a ceremony in Turks and Caicos. The wife of Montreal Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki is reflecting on one of the most romantic days of her life. On Sunday, the 25-year-old shared several photos and videos from her intimate beachside wedding in Turks and Caicos last month. "Just the two of us, forever," she captioned an initial post. She paired her words with a dove emoji and her wedding date, which was on Monday, June 9, 2025. That post first featured a photo of herself and Nick, 25, holding hands and walking away from the camera, as she looked back over her shoulder with her veil draping down to the ground. The other pictures in the carousel showed off parts of the beach, one-on-one moments with her NHLer husband as well as his-and-hers vow booklets with their rings. Caitlin continued to shared a couple other posts from her stunning destination wedding, including a glam-shot video from a hair and makeup appointment for her cocktail bridal party. In the clip, hair artist Vanessa Wehbe showed off Caitlin's glamorous makeup look and immaculately-curled hair. A third post showed off the couple's "night before" in Turks and Caicos, where they spent the evening on a chartered catamaran. They took an intimate photoshoot on board, where they embraced in various poses and outfits on the boat. A couple shots featured Caitlin wearing a strapless white dress with her blonde locks tied in a ponytail, and Nick opting for a seafoam blue polo shirt and white pants. Another snapshot showed Caitlin wearing a white long-sleeve mini dress, with Nick changing into a white shirt and light khaki shorts. In all of the posts, fans raved over the beauty of the event and how stunning the couple looked during their beachside festivities. Others shared their congratulations to the newlyweds and expressed how they're still celebrating the duo. "Forever obsessed," wrote fellow Montreal Canadiens WAG Emma Fortin, who's married to Brendan Gallagher. "Gorgeous. Congratulations!" added Alexa Dobson, who recently married Montreal Canadiens defenceman Noah Dobson. "She hit us with so much in one day," joked Paola Anderson, who's married to Montreal Canadiens player Josh Anderson. "I'm so obsessed, no words at all," someone chimed in. "Actually never getting over these!!! Wow," someone else penned. Caitlin also took to her Instagram Stories to re-share numerous photos and videos — some of which had black-and-white filters — that wedding guests had posted on their accounts from the reception. That included clips from their first dance and other photos the couple had taken. Nick and Caitlin first connected through social media around 2016 or 2017. They had previously known of each other through mutual friends in London, Ont., and eventually Nick proposed in 2024 during a trip to the Dominican Republic. This past January, Caitlin took to social media to share footage from her bachelorette bash in Aspen, Colo. "The girlies take on Aspen part 1," she captioned a post on Jan. 5. The following month, she made an appearance on the "Never Offside" podcast hosted by Julie Petry, wife of Detroit Red Wings defenceman Jeff Petry, and Cat Toffoli, wife of San Jose Sharks alternate captain Tyler Toffoli. In an episode posted on Feb. 4, Caitlin opened up more about her relationship with Nick, her role as an NHL wife and her then-upcoming wedding "I've never dreamed of a wedding. I've dreamed of the person I'm going to marry, but I'm not a wedding person," she explained at the time. But thinking of having all of her loved ones in one room had pushed her to excitement over the big day: "To have everyone in one space together is my dream come true. ... I know it's going to be so much fun, so I'm really looking forward to that."

Massive price for 1960s time capsule home
A 1960s house, built by a carpenter for his family and preserved as if time stood still, has sold for $2.405m, setting a new benchmark for an original property in one of the Gold Coast's most sought-after beachside pockets. With a Hills Hoist in the backyard and lace tablecloths in the kitchen, the cottage amazed buyers with its immaculately preserved tableau of the past as it came to market for the first time ever. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom house on a 670 sqm lot at 9 Tawarri Cres, Burleigh Heads, sold 11 days after listing, to a local buyer planning to build a family home. Marketing agent Paddy Quinn, of PRD Burleigh Heads, said the price was the highest achieved for an original home in the popular community of Koala Park, located close to picturesque Tallebudgera Creek. 'This is a prime lifestyle location where high-end luxury homes have sold for phenomenal amounts, and the result is testament to how competitive it has become to get into Koala Park,' Mr Quinn said. The last comparable sale was a four-bedroom house on the same street, sold for $1.94m in December and on the market for the first time in 26 years. Burleigh 'marble mansion' up for rent Qld renters missing out on energy bill relief With its cream and green exterior, retro coloured glass, shagpile carpets and shelves displaying religious figures, Mr Quinn said the house at 9 Tawarri sent many buyers on a trip down memory lane. 'The home had never been renovated and was kept pretty much as though time had stood still since the 1960s,' he said. 'The idea of the campaign was firstly, to pay homage to the vendors' late parents for their quality construction of a home that showcases enduring craftsmanship and timeless character – the saying, 'they don't build them like they used to', comes to mind.' It was sold as a deceased estate, and had been home to the seller's mother, a beloved local character known as 'Terry', since it was built until her death aged 91. 'It was a one-of-a-kind house built with a lot of love for a very loving family.' PropTrack data shows house prices in Burleigh Heads were up 16.2 per cent over the past 12 months to a median of $1.569m.
