SAY NO to private development in our National Parks

Claire and Geoff Clark Clarks’ Cleaning, Laundry and Maintenance

National Parks are what they are, BECAUSE they exclude commercial and urban development.

Corporate business and State Govt. want to end this exclusion, and exploit Parks to sell high priced accommodation products.

Allowing this is reckless. It would degrade Parks’ capacity to protect nature and serve public needs.

Only 5% of Qld. is National Park.

Nature needs them, we need them, without commercial development.

The Queensland Government is acting to create commercial development leases inside Cooloola National Park and inside other National Parks across the State.

These private leases are to develop and operate private luxury accommodation.

The sites are located on fragile and significant sites within Cooloola including Double Island Point, Poona Lake, and Upper Noosa River.

10 large, 38sq. mtr. luxury cabins plus extra facilities would be built at DI Point and also at Poona Lake - a pavilion-style resort.

Calling it ‘Eco-tourism’ is a trick. The Government refuses to consult properly on this major change to our National Parks. It deals only with select insider groups, excluding all others. It refuses to answer crucial public interest questions. The secrecy employed in this process would continue for any future expansion.
