NICK COOKE QUESTION 1 Why are new actions, like "Accommodation options for visitors" and "Investigate future commercial and industrial land for Pomona," being added to the final Place Plan in response to a single submission, such as one calling for "a world class 4 or 5-star enviro-resort similar to Kingfisher Bay Resort on K’gari," when those new actions haven't gone through the first two rounds of consultation and thus haven't gone through the community prioritisation and scrutiny phase? Response provided by Kim Rawlings Director Strategy and Environment As part of the community engagement council made a commitment to capture all suggested actions from the community throughout the process. Those actions that did not get identified as priority actions in the main sections of the Plan have been captured in Appendix B. These additional actions have been included in Appendix B. When the Place plan is to be reviewed all these Actions in appendix B will be presented back to the community to be re-tested and then be prioritised. These additional actions are not included in Part B as priority actions. QUESTION 2 Why is the 'Kin Kin Quarry' not explicitly identified or mentioned in the Place Plan, despite staff comments in Attachment 2, which were made in response to significant community feedback that the Plan had failed to capture the quarry situation impacting Pomona, and despite stating the Plan would be amended to "include references to Kin Kin Quarry"? Response provided by Kim Rawlings Director Strategy and Environment The Plan has been amended to reflect heavy vehicle movements including quarry trucks. Pages 12, 27 and 28 have references to this issue.
