A move to sell a council-owned car park to a community housing provider has been abandoned after local opposition.
Sunshine Coast Council announced on April 15 that it will not proceed with the sale of land at 46-62 Howard Street in Nambour to Coast2Bay Housing Group Limited.
The decision followed face-to-face engagement with the community, which highlighted concerns about the suitability of the site for the proposed development.
Mayor Rosanna Natoli says the outcome demonstrated the council’s commitment to listening to local voices.
“This is another example of council genuinely listening and responding to our community,” she says.
“The people who live, work and access services in Nambour every day have an intimate understanding of the local area, and it is essential that we take the time to carefully consider their views.”
