Newly elected Sunshine Coast Regional Council Mayor Bob Abbot has indicated that the new Council will revisit the controversial decision made last November by the Caloundra City Council early on in the new Council's business. Hopefully common sense will prevail and the hard work and detailed planning undertaken by Council staff will finally be fully considered by Councillors.

This news has been welcomed by Obi Obi Parklands supporters, and the news may even come as a relief for some of the golf course supporters who are slowly beginning to realise that they may have bitten off far more than they can chew:

• there is no magic bullet funding solution for all the sport and recreation infrastructure
• there is no bucket of funding for master planning even, and
• there is certainly no magic bucket of funding for roadworks (let alone a new bridge), underground power, phone, water, stormwater runnoff management, former sewerage dispersal land decontamination etc etc etc...

How about it MALPAN, Maleny Golf Club, Maleny Sport & Rec Club:

• Actually write to Council and ask them how much money is available for master planning.
• Ask Council how much money will be allocated ove the next 5 years for infrasctructure improvements for the Maleny Community Precinct land for sports and recreational facilities.

You will be very very disapointed with the response you will get. No amount of spin will hoodwink the Council over this, however the very people you seek to represent will be sorely disapointed if you fail to deliver after all this hype.

More comment and opinions on this issue may be seen on the Maleny Times website.

A website to raise public awarenes of an alternative proposal for the use of the Maleny Community Precinct land purchased by the Council. An environmental park with walking trails is surely better than another hack community golf course...
