You can view the live streaming of CCRC General meeting 10 Dec 2020. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9y3 the Planner presenting the Aviation facility recommendation starts at 3:55.42 Councillor Barnes: "Applicants have done a great job picking our shire to come to. I think it’s going to be a great asset to our shire – if it is in the right place. I hope we don’t frighten this helicopter company off through making this decision (deferral)".
Mayor Mark Nolan: "This is a renowned national company not a fly by nighter. They want to do a partnership with our council. It’s critical for our branding and our reputation that we are open about these types of DA’s. In the year 2000, the Johnstone Shire was approached by Steggles and there was concern by the residents at the time and the councillors of the day listened to those people’s concerns and Steggles left Johnstone Shire established in Mareeba and currently employ 120 workers. So that’s the consequence of ...ah... being negative and not considering... ah... good applications from reputable people who are renowned nationally".
