Council is seeking partnership proposals from community groups to ensure the best use of three land parcels in Birtinya, Brightwater and Currimundi.

Council has voted to implement an Expression of Interest process to determine the future of the following land parcels:

  • a 5,003m2 lot at Shine Court, Birtinya,
  • a 5,000m2 lot at Brightwater Boulevard, Mountain Creek; and
  • a 1,620m2 lot of 31 Bellara Drive, Currimundi.

Local not-for-profit organisations are invited to attend an information session at Venue 114, at 10am on July 2. To register to attend the information session and find out more, visit www.hpw.qld.gov.au/qtenders.

Interested community groups will be required to submit Expressions of Interest in the sites. The process will allow council to prepare a short-list from respondents and will invite tenders from that shortlist.

The three sites were made available as part of an agreement with Stockland Pty Ltd to set aside land to be used by the Brightwater, Birtinya and Currimundi communities.

Planning portfolio Councillor Christian Dickson said council would offer long-term leases over the sites as part of our commitment to building a strong community.

He said council’s decision to implement an Expression of Interest process was good news for all three communities.

“This process gives council the ability to partner with community not-for-profit organisations to deliver facilities that meet the needs of each community,” Cr Dickson said.

He said the proposal aligned with the Sunshine Coast Environment and Liveability Strategy which aimed to address the needs arising from projected population growth.

“Council is committed to providing a high quality network of facilities through partnerships and advocacy,” Cr Dickson said.

Division 3 Councillor Peter Cox said the Expression of Interest process would provide a broad enough scope to allow industry and community groups to propose a diverse range of innovative and dynamic solutions to make best uses of the three sites.

“The Expression of Interest process allows council to attract potential investment into the site without the need for council to be solely responsible.

“This is an exciting outcome for these three communities and I look forward to learning about the exciting ideas groups have in mind for the parcels of land,’’ Cr Cox said.

Expressions of Interest close at 12 noon on August 1.
