Premium Content Subscriber only Mackay Regional Council has approved the development of a new function centre at Midge Point, dismissing one councillorâs claim that it could potentially lead to a âsewage overflowâ. Developers will need to meet more than 30 conditions if they go ahead with their plans â submitted to the council in April last year â for a wedding and corporate events centre on Lawson St. Councillors Laurence Bonaventura, Alison Jones, Martin Bella and Russell Seymour voted against approving the venue, but this fell short of the majority required to flush the proposal. Cr Bonaventura said he believed the development should not go ahead because it was proposed for rural residential zoned area and because of his own concerns about sewage overflow.
