Attention Councillors and our community

Have you had the opportunity to walk around Slade Campus? What a great location, central to our city!
Members of our community have a vision for the future function and purpose of this important cultural and traditional site. Thank you to the council for keeping it for us. Now there’s an opportunity to develop an exciting cultural precinct. There is opportunity to build human connectedness. There’s an opportunity to enhance our community into the future.
It would be socially inequitable for this important location to be developed into housing for the well off, throwing out all the community groups who use Slade now and blocking all the future possibilities for many more to utilise it as well. The short-term financial gain to the council of the sale of Slade is not worth the long-term social loss to the community.
This precinct along the cliffs above the Condamine should be there for all of us to enhance our sense of place in Australia at the head of the Murray Darling system. Around the world community groups have worked together to create their own cultural and civic centres located on meaningful sites. Just as the Maleny community was able to do, so
can we.
Please show support for the community development of Slade.
Susie Stevens,
