The LNP will put the brakes on Labor’s approval of a 195-unit, six storey development, which was foisted on the community, in spite of strong local objection and a lack of community and council consultation.
LNP Deputy Leader and Shadow Minister for Planning and Infrastructure Jarrod Bleijie has criticised the Labor Government’s failure to consult with Noosa Council and the local community before they progressed developments to a next stage of assessment.
“The LNP is committed to delivering affordable housing across Queensland, but we have consistently said our plan to provide more housing will be delivered in collaboration with local councils and the community housing sector,” Mr Bleijie said.
“The Premier and Labor have left Noosa residents in the dark and taken it upon themselves to push ahead with a 195-unit development in Noosa Junction and a further 40-unit development in Tewantin without any discussion with council and completely disregarding the community.
“The Independent Member for Noosa has demonstrated she is completely powerless to change the situation and has failed to stop this development, only the LNP will stop this development and ensure the community and council are consulted with plans for the future of this site.
LNP candidate for Noosa Clare Stewart said the LNP has consistently given a commitment to work with councils, not dictate to them.
“The LNP has met with Noosa Council and provided certainty an LNP Government will ensure that any developments are compliant within the local planning scheme,” Ms Stewart said.
Mr Bleijie said the choice at this election cannot be clearer for the people of Noosa.
“The only way to stop this development process is to vote for Clare Stewart and the LNP,” Mr Bleijie said.
“A vote for anyone else risks returning Steven Miles and allowing the Labor Government to rubber stamp this development.
“Only the LNP has the Right Plan for Queensland’s Future.”
