Parklands chop won't stop despite petition triggering parliamentary inquiry

# Parklands Development to Proceed Despite Parliamentary Petition

Acting Premier Kyam Maher has confirmed that development works in the Parklands will continue despite a petition attracting 13,500 signatures. The petition has triggered a parliamentary inquiry, but this has not halted the planned projects, which include a golf course redevelopment and infrastructure for a MotoGP event.

The decision represents a significant moment of tension between public opposition and government commitment to the development plans. With over 13,500 people signing the petition, the matter has reached Parliament, indicating substantial community concern about the proposed works. However, the Acting Premier's statement makes clear the government intends to proceed with the projects regardless of the parliamentary inquiry.
