The Solar City Project | Dec 4th 2009
With public interest in mind, Magnetic Times has decided to publish a copy of a letter sent recently to The Queensland Minister for Natural Resources, Mines, Energy and Trade, Stephen Robertson, by Island resident Mr Michael Schmidt who has some strong criticisms to make about the proposed Solar Park at Horseshoe Bay. It is important to disclose that your editor is one of the three community members on the working group and an attendee to all of the meetings so far and that I see the project in a far more positive light. But, because this is an important matter we have, for the record, reproduced Mike Schmidt's letter in full in the public interest.

One was an open public forum on Monday and the second was today, for a working group drawn from Monday's group. Both have seen significant progress towards an impressive community result.

On Monday night the Magnetic Island community had an important win and the Ergon Energy-led Solar Cities project on Magnetic Island showed they were indeed responsive to community wishes when the plan to locate banks of solar panels in a “Solar farm” between the Smart Lifestyle Centre (formerly the MI Sports and Rec. Club) was scrapped in favour of a new direction prompted by the community.
