At the crossroads of development

INTERESTING to read about some of the bigger projects happening across the hinterland.
The affordable housing project – five storeys (?!), 70 units and no doubt dozens of cars.
Did anyone stop to think about how all those residents are going to get around.
While walking over the railway line to the shops might suit some, human nature suggests people are going to hop in a car if they need emergency supplies of, say, bread and milk.
So that means dozens more cars trying to make the already fraught right hand turn onto Roy’s Rd from Swan Street.
New residents can join the conversation about the hinterland’s worst-designed intersection.
It’s all temporary though, soon enough there will be enough shops at Aura to make Beerwah a complete afterthought.
Begs the question whether the Coles development might not have been the worst thing in the world to happen.
Too late now!
COUPLE of people thought I shouldn’t have called out the member for Caloundra for swimming between the safety of her coastal flags instead of pulling on some overalls, boots and an Akubra and heading west to the darklands of Beerwah and Landsborough.
Second guessing myself, don’t you hate that, I checked the member’s Facebook page and the last pass through the hinterland was way back on December 5.
And even then it was to Australia Zoo, which barely counts.
Maybe take a leaf out of Andrew Wallace’s book.
Yes he’s on high election alert, but he’s posting back and forth from the coast to the hinterland every second post. Everyone’s a winner.
