Many of the postwar homes, shops and holiday flats were built from recycled military buildings.Following the war, the Miami community developed with the founding of a Surf Life Saving Club, the construction of facilities such as tennis courts, the roller skating rink , the Miami Rollerdome and the Pizzey Park Sporting Complex.In 1962, Page Newman built the Nobbys Beach chair lift which later formed part of the Magic Mountain entertainment park. A gamble which paid off, the chair lift carried 40,000 people in its first year of operation.A building and tourism phenomena of the 1960s, local motels featured names such as the El Rancho Restel, the Florida Car-o-tel and the Pineapple Motel.The first High School between Southport and border, Miami High, opened in 1963.Like the distinctive sign Miami High on the scarp of the quarry, the school was both a landmark and symbol for a population growing up on the coast. Miami itself changed little during the dramatic development and expansion of the 1970s and 80s.If you look carefully some of the those first bungalows constructed between the 1930s and 50s are hidden between the two Nobbys.Source: City of Gold Coast Website
