No agreement on Maidstone post office site
The P.M.G. and Sunshine Council have not reached agreement on a permanent Maidstone post office site. After another exhaustive survey the original site at the corner of Rosamond and Ballarat Roads is deemed best, while a proposal to the west is being considered. The council persists that the Lyona Street and Ballarat Road corner is more suitable and requests inspections of both sites.
