The opponents to the proposed development of eco cabins in the Cooloola National Park, led by Greg Wood and Matthew Noffke of Keep Cooloola Cool, met last week to organise future public meetings for people to learn more about the project and have their say.
The next public meeting will be held on Tuesday 27 September from 5.30pm at the Rainbow Beach Community Centre Hall.
All are welcome to attend the meeting which is expected to last about 90 minutes.
Greg said the meeting will provide the public with information and the opportunity for discussion on the Cooloola National Park development plans.
The first meeting will provide an overview of the proposed development details, with information on how residents and visitors who object to this plan can best act to help oppose it.
Greg and his team are also keen to discuss alternative and superior development options that highlight the defects of the current thinking.
A second meeting will be held a month later and also cover points of business produced at the first meeting.
Greg said: “A 38 square metre area will be marked out on the centre block with temporary fence panels.“
“This equals the footprint of one of the ten cabins proposed for each of the Poona Lake and Double Island Point sites.”
“This will help citizens comprehend the actual size of these individual units and better understand the impact of building ten of them on each of the two key sites.“
He said it will also provide modular displays with additional information and artwork, and space for public interaction and feedback.
If you wish to attend the meeting Greg said all are welcome to come along at 5.30pm on Tuesday 27 September to the Rainbow Beach Community Hall.
