Forest Lake, Queensland
I can see you are trying to add information to the Wikipedia article but can you please add it to the history section in an appropriate place and provide some citations to support the information you are providing.

If you want to recover the information you have added, you can find it here if you need to copy it.

I would also draw your attention to Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy. Thanks Kerry (talk) 23:01, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

By writing the background of Forest Lake, one will get the impression that Delphin came up with the concept of Forest Lake when in fact they merely inherited the project.

It would be reasonable to look at the genesis of how the first Fully Masterplanned Community in Brisbane came about.

Perhaps you can add a section to its history and the Hancock Family who owned the property were the people who say a higher use of the property.

As for Delphin they were brought in when Girvans went into some financial problems interstate.

The original planning of the project is also significant as it was done at a time when the property could have ended up being a landfill instead of Doonadella.

If you can recover the front page article on the Sunday Mail with a photo of Lloyd Hancock it will also be useful as the original planning of the project had many side effects.

And if Maha Sinnathamby was not one of the potential buyers of the property and told to secure s property further down the road, greater springfield would not have existed. There is a lot more. Credit must also be given to Tony Aitkenson whom if not for his persistence to convince Sally Ann Aitkinson to support the project, might have allowed the property to become a landfill and not developed to its potential.

Of course Delphin's contribution in actually running the development is very important and it was this experience in Forest Lake that allowed them to be invited to participate in Soeingfield Lake. Oliver Tham (talk) 17:44, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm more than happy for you to improve the history section. And the information you have previously provided probably can be re-used if you can provide some sources for it. I am guessing you are writing from memory but that's not acceptable for Wikipedia. If you go to the State Library of Queensland, you can access old copies of newspapers and other government documents in various forms. The staff there are very helpful.

Thanks Kerry
Thanks for that, I hope you understand that sometimes it is the little things and stories that actually change the course of history and if you see the impact it has on the end product and how it gave birth to Springfield you can see the relevance.

It would be great if through your resources you can find the news article on the Sunday Mail with "young tycoon wants to build retirement village for 5,000 japanese".

It is a very interesting spinoff as the whole world started to talk on the subject and in a way it made australia a better place. I love an australia where we cba discuss such subjects and still live in a harmonious multi cultural society Oliver Tham (talk) 00:44, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
