The Christian charity's management has also criticised leaflets put out by a Dooralong residents' group warning of a "drug resort".

Leaflets from the Ratepayers Against Drug and Alcohol Resort (RADAR) group claimed the Salvos would shift their Miracle Haven drug rehabilitation centre from Morisset's Russell Road to the former Dooralong Valley Resort.

But this week the claims were rejected by the Salvationa Army's Major Glenn Whittaker.

"[We have] no intention of moving our recovery service work from there in the near future," Major Whittaker said.

The Salvos had also been poised to build aged care units on the Miracle Haven site, but Major Whittaker said that plan was scrapped when the projected costs blew out.

Major Whittaker told the Lakes Mail that the charity's plans for the former Dooralong resort (now owned by the Salvos) were far from concrete.

He said the organisation had not yet decided whether to build a conference centre, spiritual retreat or rehabilitation facility.

RADAR and Dooralong Valley Residents Association printed posters and leaflets urging residents to "say no" to a rehabilitation centre.

But Major Whittaker said the group had continued to "peddle misinformation" despite several meetings with Salvation Army management.

"The Salvation Army certainly disputes a lot of information they are distributing including the data they have presented about the supposed number of participants," he said.

"As an organisation we're disappointed that some in the community don't want these types of people in their backyard, because their own son or daughter could need help one day."

No development application has been lodged for the Dooralong site.

In 2008, residents successfully protested a a proposal by a group that included boxing champion Anthony Mundine to use the resort as a Muslim centre.
