24.01.2022 Proposed Community Facilities | Palmview Urban Development Investigation Areas After viewing Council’s 78-page report which was only publicly released 3.5 working days before Councillor’s made their determination, SDDCA representatives met with both council planning staff and the planning consultant acting on behalf of the landowners. These discussions raised anomalies in the report that councillors would be basing their decision on. We, therefore, asked our divisional Counci...llor to put forward the motion asking for an extension of time, to allow a meeting to bring together council’s planning staff, the landowners and consultant, councillors and community representatives. We were not asking for Councillors to approve the project, simply for more time. We were extremely disappointed that the motion was not supported by 6 of the 11 Sunshine Coast Councillors as there were no statutory timelines in place for this process.

23.01.2022 Community Facilities Precinct (Peter Crosby Common) lives to see another day! Yesterday was an education! Attending a council Ordinary Meeting was an eyeopener and although I already knew it superficially I gained a deeper realisation of how any decision before a council OM (ordinary meeting) that may only impact a single division, is in the hands of just 5 other councillors because if less than 5 other councillors are in agreement your councillor, it’s all over, good, bad... or otherwise!.

18.01.2022 Official Announcement - Sippy Downs Community Facilities Precinct

16.01.2022 Councillors Strongly Urged to defer Community Facilities Draft Decision Sippy Downs & District Community Association Inc (SDDCA) met with senior council staff yesetrday regarding a proposed community facilities precinct at Sippy Downs. In the full media release available in the link below SDDCA President Matt Druce siad,... Based upon the information provided by the landowner, this proposal (Sportsfield and Community Facilities) ticks all the boxes for what has been lacking in our community. The issue now is that information provided by council officers is at odds with that provided by the landowner. The SDDCA sees it must ensure that the land owner’s offer of approximately 6 hectares of useable land dedicated for community facilities, together with 2.5 million dollars to construct playing fields, a community building and associated infrastructure is delivered provided upstream flooding is not adversely affected. With a clear and evident disparity between Council officer’s and Cardno’s flooding assessment, the Association has concerns that there is a severe lack of open and transparent dialogue between the parties to exhaustively explore concerns, and in turn solutions, to deliver this much-needed community precinct within Sippy Downs. Therefore, to ensure that we do not lose this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to remedy the historic shortfall of open space and provision of community facilities for Sippy Downs, we urge Sunshine Coast Councillors to defer any decision (draft or otherwise) until any matters are cleared up, and the applicant is given a chance to respond. Open dialogue can then be held between all parties, including the community, said Mr Druce.
