Powell was advised this week by the Minister for Tourism and Fair Trade
that the M.D.S.R.C. Inc had been successful in obtaining funding from
the Gambling Community Development Fund to produce a Precinct Business
Plan.
Mr Powell said, “I’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate M.D.S.R.C. on the attainment of funding towards the formation of a strategic plan. Given the financial restraints community organisations have to work around, it is heartening to see fiscal relief offered in the form of this well-deserved grant for $4,180.”

The M.D.S.R.C. Inc has employed the CPR Group (project facilitators and consultation specialists for sport and recreational development to assist in the formulation of a business plan for sport and recreational areas 7 and 7a on the Precinct.
The CPR Group has been working with not-for-profit organisations and local Councils on strategic planning projects since 1977. In that time securing in excess of $10 million in funding and working with 1,000 organisations.
M.D.S.R.C. Inc represents 30 Maleny sport and recreational club affiliates.
President Mike Norman said “This is very good news; as the Council now moves towards the formation of the master plan for the Precinct, it is vital for a successful outcome for the community of Maleny that M.D.S.R.C. presents them with a detailed business and strategic plan. We have been working closely with the professional services of the CPR Group for nearly a year now and an integral part of the process has been to ensure we work in consultation with all user groups on the Precinct.”
He continued, “The funds just obtained will be used by the CPR Group to prepare our strategic development plan, involving consultation and liaison with M.D.S.R.C. management, the relevant stakeholders and the Sunshine Coast Regional Council. Part of the process will be the organising and facilitating of planning workshops by CPR, leading ultimately to a draft business plan.”
