With the required level of caution, this could potentially be great news for those of us North of Brisvegas
http://www.sunshinecoastdaily.com.au/news/huge-moto-park-revved/2191500/THE State Government is expected to announce within days plans to build in Beerwah State Forest a motorsport facility to rival the 745ha Queensland Moto Park, west of the Gold Coast.
Member for Buderim and National Parks Minister Steve Dickson confirmed the move in Parliament yesterday in response to questions from Labor environment spokeswoman Jackie Trad.
"Our government has a plan, and those plans will be released in a measured time and in a measured way,'' Mr Dickson said. "When the time is right for our government to release that information, we will do that openly and transparently …," he said.
"We are looking to build a couple of facilities very similar to the one that has been constructed at Wyaralong (near Beaudesert) … "When we are ready to release that information in the future, I will let this House know or those opposite will read about it in the paper, as the people of Queensland will read about it."
Ms Trad had asked him in a question without notice whether he would confirm that he intended approving a mega motor sports precinct for the Beerwah State Forest.
"Beerwah State Forest is not only home to an abundance of wildlife, it includes pine plantations and open eucalypt forest as well as rainforest," she said.
