Premium Content Subscriber only Almost three dozen Gympie region residents are taking the Gympie Regional Council to court over its decision to approve a controversial motorsport park at Bella Creek. Thirty-five residents have lodged an appeal against the council and developer Scott Canty after the council gave the project a green light to go ahead last year. The council’s approval allowed the park to be opened but not without a number of strict regulations regarding the number of events it could host each year and guest numbers. The group of residents has asked the state’s Planning and Environment Court to overturn the council’s decision on multiple grounds.
