The Spit is a unique city asset that all Gold Coasters, regardless of where they live, can enjoy and protect. Since the initial community consultation and the first weekend workshop, a second workshop was held in July at which the participants were divided into groups to discuss the possibilities for different areas of The Spit.
These included what type of activities could occur there to promote tourism and recreation, how the natural attributes of The Spit could be preserved and enhanced, what could enrich the character of public places, the various maritime functions that could be provided for and the ways in which movement to and from and throughout The Spit could be improved.
Regrettably, from Gecko’s perspective, the cruise terminal on Philip Park, which is public open space, was also included. The discussion related to what issues and arrangements would arise if the cruise terminal went ahead and alternatively if it did not.
