The petition of residents of the State of Queensland draws attention of the House to the Links Group proposed Residential and Golf Course Development behind the Village of Montville. A total of 142 hectares (350 acres) of rural land comprising of 40 Hectares (99 acres) for 350 houses and 150 pre-retirement units; 125 hotel rooms and lodge apartments; 10 hectares (25 acres) village precinct including commercial uses (pro shop, restaurants and potential boutiques); members club; golf course; and additional recreation facilities. 

This development totally contravenes the Maroochy Plan 2000 and the petitioners request the House to cause the new Call In powers of the Office of Urban Management to be used to prevent this development from being approved by the Maroochy Shire Council and to include Montville and its surrounds to be protected from further Urbanization and development by including it as an important part of the green belt of regional landscape in the new Urban Management plan being put in place by the state government.
