Council maintains all workers at its mass transit information booths are employees and impartial despite a man with links to the state transport department having been spotted at several locations. A Mooloolaba woman told organisers of The Beach Matters group, which is fighting the prospect of a light rail system along the beachfront at Alexandra Headland and Maroochydore, and at least one councillor that she had spotted a former transport department staffer at consultation sessions in Kawana and Mooloolaba earlier this month. The man she identified was Dan Koch, a former Department of Transport and Main Roads project manager and former CoastConnect project director based in Maroochydore.

Subscriber only Squaring off a decade ago over the Gillard government s ill-fated carbon tax, former Rio Tinto managing director David Peever and ex-Federal Treasurer Wayne Swan now find themselves on the same side. The pair have thrown their weight behind the growing cause rallying against a proposed light rail system along the beach front at Alexandra Headland. Mr Peever, now a Cotton Tree resident and Mr Swan, a former Nambour High school student who is a regular at Cotton Tree and passionate Coast surfer, spoke out against what they said was a consistent lack of consultation and failure to respect the community s wishes.
