Paper Petition

To the Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of
Queensland.

The petition of residents of the State of Queensland draws to the
attention of the House that the Gold Coast Harbour Vision 2020 Project –
Report No. 1 prepared by Gold Coast City Council officers recommends,
inter alia, the following:–

• An increase in the size of Wavebreak Island from 37.15 ha to 95 ha
• A bridge connecting Labrador to The Spit via Wavebreak Island
• Development of Wavebreak Island for low, medium and high rise
residential, retail and commercial purposes
• Further marina development and moorings in the Broadwater
• Commercial use of the Southport foreshore for cafe’s, restaurants,
taverns and an events park/amphitheatre for outdoor entertainment.

Your petitioners therefore request the House to advise the Gold Coast
City Council that the House will not agree to the recommendations
contained in the Gold Coast Harbour Vision 2020 Project – Report No. 1
and is against any commercial development of the Broadwater (including
Wavebreak Is) and the western foreshore and any further reclamation.
