QUESTION 1
Why are new actions, like "Accommodation options for visitors" and "Investigate future commercial
and industrial land for Pomona," being added to the final Place Plan in response to a single
submission, such as one calling for "a world class 4 or 5-star enviro-resort similar to Kingfisher Bay
Resort on K’gari," when those new actions haven't gone through the first two rounds of consultation
and thus haven't gone through the community prioritisation and scrutiny phase?

QUESTION 2
Why is the 'Kin Kin Quarry' not explicitly identified or mentioned in the Place Plan, despite staff
comments in Attachment 2, which were made in response to significant community feedback that
the Plan had failed to capture the quarry situation impacting Pomona, and despite stating the Plan
would be amended to "include references to Kin Kin Quarry"?
