From the Pine Rivers Shire Council... media release announcing a call for expressions of interest in 'etablishing a multi-purpose recreational facility" at the "former" Lakeside Raceway site (link).
They obviously intend to kill off the site completely as they're after a "recreation and education facility".
And when you hear a politician say "preserve elements of Lakeside's history" that means they'll put a cheap-arse plaque up and a small display that they'll never maintain or update.
This ranks with antics of the Bjelke era as an exercise in corruption and complete willingness to trample over the wishses of the population. bastards.
text of media release to save sending traffic to their site (and make them think they're popular):
| Quote: |
Pine Rivers Shire Council is currently looking to renew interest and revive activity at the former Lakeside Raceway after the Planning and Environment Court gave the go-ahead for Council to explore recreation opportunities and management options for the 40-year old icon.
Pine Rivers Mayor, Cr Yvonne Chapman, said Council had planned to establish a multi-purpose recreation facility on the former Lakeside Raceway site and was currently seeking expressions of interest from sporting and recreation groups for lease and development of the site.
"We have some preferred uses for the site, but we are open to suggestions," she said.
Some of Council's preferred uses include a historical motor racing hub encompassing a motor museum; or a multi-purpose sporting facility catering for cyclists, karting, roller blading, car club events, motor dealer new car launches; or a driver and rider training facility for youth, police and emergency services.
Cr Chapman said Council was mindful of Lakeside's historical significance and the motor sport fraternity's passion for the venue.
"Because of this, Council is keen to examine ways that Lakeside can continue to remain both an icon for this group and the community as a whole," she said.
"We are looking to preserve elements of Lakeside's history, while providing other recreational facilities to cater for the general community.
"With community input, the Lakeside site provides a great opportunity for us to establish a recreation and education facility right in the heart of the shire's high growth area."
Recreation or sporting groups interested in submitting a proposal for future usage of the site can contact Council on 3480 6666 to obtain a copy of the Expression of Interest document or download one from Council's website at www.pinerivers.qld.gov.au
Expressions of interest close 12 noon on January 31. Council will shortlist expressions of interest and invite successful respondents to tender in accordance with the Local Government Act 1993.
