Sustainable Sunshine Coast Community Forum

The Bligh government wants to fast-track the development of Greenfield sites on the Sunshine Coast – but with no commitment to additional infrastructure. Can our roads, public transport, health and community services cope with 75,000 more people? Are you concerned about protecting our environment and lifestyle?

As the Sunshine Coast Environment Council rightly points out: “This is not just about infrastructure. It is more about sustainable infrastructure such as integrated public transport systems, decentralised water, renewable energy and sustainable building design and construction and community services. Simply doing business as usual and building more roads is not the answer!”

Community Forum on Thursday 31 July 2008 – 7:00 pm

Lake Kawana Community Centre, Sportsman’s Parade, Bokarina, 4575

Hosted by: Steve Dickson MP, Member for Kawana

Guest speakers include:
Lawrence Springborg MP, Leader of the Opposition
Fiona Simpson MP, Shadow Minister for Infrastructure & Planning

A panel of community representatives will address questions to the speakers – you are invited to submit questions for inclusion in this discussion. (There will also be the opportunity for questions from the floor – time permitting.)

Questions should be emailed to kawana@parliament.qld.gov.au no later than this Friday 25 July, 2008. Please include your name, organisation name (if applicable) and contact number.
