We now call upon the Premier to be consistent by extending the ruling to protect public open space at The Spit and Wavebreak Island.
This public land is valued at $818 million dollars yet the government intends to hand this over to developers.
Lois Levy, Gecko-Gold Coast and Hinterland (Gecko) Environment Advocate said,” While
we congratulate the Premier for taking this decision to protect our iconic southern Gold Coast beaches, their surfbreaks and their stunning beauty, the fight against a cruise ship terminal on the Gold Coast continues unabated.”
Ms Levy continued, ”The mass paddle out will take place as planned this Sunday at Kirra and we will hold our public information session to let people know that land grabs of public open space for development, whether at Kirra or at The Spit or at Wavebreak Island are completely unacceptable to the community.
