South Burnett Regional Council staff will prepare a proposal for an upgrade of the Maidenwell Sportsground – including the provision of more power outlets – following a public meeting held tonight.<\/p>\n

About 40 people had gathered at Maidenwell Hall to discuss the future of the Maidenwell Tennis Courts.<\/p>\n

The meeting was organised by Mayor Wayne Kratzmann and Division 2 councillor Deb Palmer after suggestions had been made about how best to spend Budget money which had been allocated to Maidenwell.<\/p>\n

Mayor Kratzmann said $5000 had been set aside in Council’s 2012-13 Budget for repairs to the tennis courts but realistically this was not enough for the project.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the Gas Guzzlers Club had spoken to Council about getting more power available in the sportsground area for their annual car show.<\/p>\n

Cr Kratzmann said his first thought was … “that $5000 from the tennis courts, let’s spend it on the power, and we’ll look at getting a grant later for the tennis courts”.<\/p>\n

He had also learned that local tennis players were now using the courts at the Tanduringie State School, so perhaps the courts were no longer needed.<\/p>\n

But Cr Kratzmann said no decision was going to be made without consulting the people of Maidenwell.<\/p>\n

The Mayor said there was also some good news for the meeting to consider.<\/p>\n

Preliminary Budget discussions for 2013-14 had identified some money that had been pigeonholed for somewhere else that was no longer going to be used there.<\/p>\n

“So we grabbed it for Maidenwell,” he said.<\/p>\n

This could be $40,000 to $45,000 but the project must have community consensus.<\/p>\n

He said it would be impossible if 49 per cent of the community wanted one thing, and 51 per cent wanted the other.<\/p>\n

“We have got some money in the Budget if you want it for something. Deb and I are ready to endorse it if you tell us.<\/p>\n

“But we need consensus. If you guys don’t want it, the money will be grabbed by Kumbia or Tingoora or Wooroolin.”<\/p>\n

Cr Kratzmann said similar opportunities had been presented to Murgon, which decided to build a skate park, and Wondai, whose residents elected to develop a Village Green to link the two sides of the town.<\/p>\n

The meeting discussed the pros and cons of encouraging more caravans and motorhomes, and the possible construction of a dump point for them, as well as power issues at the Rural Fire Brigade Shed and the tennis courts.<\/p>\n

After fielding a series of questions, Cr Kratzmann suggested that Council prepare a concept for future development of the Maidenwell Sportsground, perhaps in stages over a number of years.<\/p>\n

The meeting then could then re-convene in four or five weeks to take a look at the proposal and provide feedback.<\/p>\n

The Tennis Court area would be part of Stage 1 of the proposal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
