IMPORTANT questions surrounding a bid to include Eumundi, Doonan, Verrierdale and Weyba Downs into Noosa Council need answers, says a concerned Doonan resident.
Judy Hardy-Holden has lived in Greys Road, Doonan, for almost 20 years and she is concerned that a one-sided argument is developing over the re-alignment bid.
Mrs Hardy-Holden, who holds an Honours Degree in Environmental Studies, said she was also concerned with the processes around the community survey – which she described as “flawed”.
She has also raised a somewhat obvious question “why?”
“Why do we suddenly need to join Noosa Council,” she said.
“Has Sunshine Coast Council failed us in some way? Are we under-serviced or struggling more than anyone else – those from Noosa included?”
Ms Hardy-Holden said she was concerned with reports that the “majority of residents” from Doonan wanted to join the Noosa Council.
“I know of many residents who share my sentiment and do not want to change,” she said.
“Saying it often and loud enough does not mean it should occur and where’s the proof for this wide reaching and apparently conclusive survey?”
Ms Hardy-Holden said she was also concerned with the costs associated.
“Who will pay for such a move – and where are the benefits,” she said.
