Lord Mayor Campbell Newman, Deputy Mayor Cr Graham Quirk, Cr Peter Matic, and BCC Northern Link Road Tunnel Project ‘Legacy Way’, should know that it is the Coordinator-General who is the decision-maker with regards to whether their proposed construction workforce car park for 300 vehicles to be located within ANZAC Park, Toowong, satisfies the Coordinator-General’s imposed condition for workforce car parking (Coordinator-General’s Report evaluating the Environmental Impact Statement 18(k): The construction workforce must not park in local streets. A dedicated and adequate construction workforce off-street parking area must be provided). That the Coordinator-General is the embodiment of the State Development and Public Works Organisation Act 1971 and this person makes the evaluation on the Application for Project Change. The BCC don’t tell the Coordinator-General how things are going to be, he tells them!Under the State Development and Public Works Organisation Act 1971, the Coordinator-General releases a Coordinator-General’s Change Report which is the evaluation of the Application for Project Change – the evaluation may refuse to allow the proposed change and if the evaluation refuses to allow the proposed change, it must state reasons for the refusal.
For the BCC to even propose to use the community’s park, our ANZAC Park, as a construction workforce car park, is completely disgusting.
The current Coordinator General for the QLD State Government previously presided over Queensland Water Infrastructure Pty Ltd which attempted valiantly to build a poorly considered, shallow dam on the Mary River.
ReplyDeleteThe immediate past Coordinator General is now the CEO of Brisbane City Council.
Yes funny about that!
