“This is a wonderful example of sport and recreation master planning and is testament to the foresight of user groups and the local community,” Cr Dickson said.
“Community input will help inform the finalisation of the plan and ensure it provides appropriate recommendations for current and future user groups.”
Community members are invited to review the plan and provide written comment or attend a community ‘meet in the complex’ session on Saturday 17 December 2011 from 9am to 11am at the Ballinger Park Sports Complex on Ballinger Road, Buderim.
Your input is important to us. If you are unable to attend the ‘meet in the complex’ session, please complete the feedback form available at council’s website by Wednesday 4 January 2012.
