On his sugarcane farm in Woongoolba, Barry Kriedemann believes he has the perfect spot for a Gold Coast motor racing track but the council is getting in the way.
The nearest neighbour is a kilometre away and locals are already used to the noise of rumbling cane trucks and kids whizzing around on trail bikes.
The State Government's own South East Queensland Regional Plan 2009-2031 permits sport and recreation such as motor racing in the area but Gold Coast City Council's planning scheme does not and has limited his property to agriculture.
Therein lies the problem for Mr Kriedemann and any interested motor racing clubs.
A council spokeswoman said the council's zoning took precedence over State Government classification.
Our Council is full of bureaucrats who take home huge salaries, this is a very sensible plan and it should be allowed, unfortunately our Council think they know better.
