There are many central areas that can better handle growth. The Government is allowing developers to put the cart before the horse. More and more people are moving to the Sunshine Coast, without sufficient facilities to cater for them and in an area where more than sufficient growth has already occurred. The golden goose is being force-fed to the detriment of the whole Sunshine Coast area. All the problems of vandalism, crime, unemployment and pollution will follow. Impacts upon the marine environment of Pumicestone Passage will devastate our recreational fishing area. There are also valid concerns regarding impacts upon the Passage of airborne pollution and effluent from commercial poultry farming. Tourism industries and local residents will be badly effected if Stockland's Caloundra South development and other unsuitable applications are approved.

It is criminal madness. It will affect all marine, and wild life in the area! This is an area vital to our breathing space. It certainly will increase global warming and cause more local pollution than we want or need. We are going to strangle ourselves,and for what? Mainly for government being able to show to be doing something, and the greedy developers. (Who only come to help us!!!) Codswallop! We need to slow down on all development except essentials, and start thinking about what needs to be done and the order in which it should be done!
