HISTORY OF LEASE LOT 962 on CP C311024 – R71, THE OLD PLACE
Descendants of the Australian South Sea Islanders Association Inc. were negotiating with the Maroochy Shire Council ( as it was then known) in 1997 to lease this land known as Lot 962 on Crown Plan C311024 located at David Low Way, Bli Bli.
This land is culturally significant to the Australian South Sea Islander Community, as this site was home to many families during the early part of the 20th Century.
This being the case, it was hoped one day, to construct a Cultural and Interpretive Centre on this site to be used as an educational/interactive learning place for all.
