Luis Feliu

The planned takeover of a public park at Kingscliff as the pits-stop area for a month during the proposed world rally has sparked Kingscliff residents into action with a protest rally planned for this Saturday. The residents say they are outraged at plans to use Jack Baylis Park in Ma- rine Parade as the pits area and will hold a rally in the park at 11am to brief other residents about the park takeover. One of the organisers, resident Max Hopper, a former chief commissioner at Bass Coast Shire Council, said it was ‘inappropriate and totally unac- ceptable to take a popular foreshore park as the service centre for rally cars’. ‘If that is allowed, Kingscliff resi- dents can expect that our beachfront park will be the centre for wild par- ties with many revelers sleeping in the park and the dunes,’ the Order of Australia (OAM) recipient said. ‘There is no way that Council will be able to enforce its rules on alcohol consumption, open fires and protec- CPM founding member Michael Baartz at the printmakers workshop in Bray Park.
