THE controversial proposal to turn a 150-hectare property at Coochin Creek into a large outdoor music and exhibition venue faces a fresh test after Deputy Premier, Jarrod Bleijie, wrote to the developer demanding significantly more detail on economic, environmental, traffic and safety issues.

The Comiskey Group’s ‘Coochin Fields’ development was formally called in by Mr Bleijie in July on the grounds that it was a major tourism and economic opportunity for the region. If the festival site were to proceed the precinct would host up to six events a year, drawing up to 35,000 patrons a day.

Hi Tipsters!
Most people got 5 or 6 out of 8 this week. The poor Broncos pulled 3 hammys in their heavy loss to the Storm. The Panthers, Roosters, Raiders, and Bulldogs had big wins. Several teams are battling it out to make it into the top 8.
It’s pretty congested at the top of the Pip The Pollies ladder with Andrew Powell MP and Kendall Morton MP not too far behind on 109 points.
The last few rounds will be interesting in the run home to the finals. It’s still anybody’s game!
We ran the attached FULL-PAGE in this week’s edition!

SUNSHINE Coast Council says the removal of several car parking spaces on Maple Street is aimed at improving pedestrian safety despite concerns from retailers that reduced parking could deter customers and jeopardise the viability of some businesses.

Maleny Chamber of Commerce president Spencer Shaw said a shortage of parking has long plagued the town, and he urged the council to provide offset parking nearby.
