Hi all,

Please make the effort to show up to this important meeting (which should run for 30 mins) if you want to help stop the golf course.

Please visit our website for more information about the wonderful parklands concept: http://www.obiobiparklands.com

Caloundra City Council will have their form out on Monday seeking feedback for their preferred option for the Maleny Community Precinct.  Unless we can get around 2,000 forms filled out supporting the parklands concept, the golf course WILL HAPPEN. This ill thought out and unfunded golf course option will be environmentally damaging to this land, and will most likely result (in the long run) with a developer 'rescuing' the precinct - and thus creating many more houses on the land.

This would be a tragedy for Maleny. See the possible result here:

The Council form has been cleverly designed so that it is hard to fill it out in a way that supports the parklands. The Obi Obi Parklands Team have figured out the best way to fill out the form to support the parklands.

The next step is for friends of the parklands concept to visit their neighbours and friends and ask that they fill out the form. To fully fill out the form will take around five minutes - another clever Council ploy to deter people from bothering... We will have special versions of the form that are already partially filled out to save time - and to ensure that precisely the correct message reaches Council. (Although blank forms are definitely going to be offered to people as well).

You are invited to a briefing session at the Maleny Neighbourhood Centre this Monday 20 August at 5.30 pm with Les Hall. Anyone interested in handing out Garden Concept maps and Council feedback forms to their workplace, neighbourhood or friends are welcome, and very much encouraged to attend.

If you supported the campaign to try and stop the Woolworths development, this is a far bigger and more important issue which carries on the same fight against coastal development aspirations. If everyone supporting our concept plan just asks those who live in their immediate area in their street to fill out the form, we can achieve the 2,000 pro-parklands forms. This will be a message Council cannot ignore.
