Madden approves controversial Chirnside Park golf club subdivision.
THE fight over the subdivision of the Chirnside Park Country Club is over, after the State Government approved rezoning of the land for housing.
Planning Minister Justin Madden said he was standing up for local jobs by facilitating important building projects during the ongoing global financial crisis.
Chirnside Park Country Club president Bruce Bower said the club’s future was now assured, with Mr Madden’s decision to accept an advisory committee’s ruling to allow it to develop a new golf course in Victoria Rd, Lilydale.
“Now we know that our club has a future and so too does public access golf in the region – something we will continue to offer, and are very proud to offer,” Mr Bower said.
Mr Madden said the project would preserve 20 per cent of the golf course for public open space.
