TO: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland

The petition of the citizens and residents of the State of Queensland
draws to the attention of the house their concerns at the negative
environmental impacts of a cruise liner terminal in the Broadwater and
the loss of public open space on the Spit, Main Beach or other foreshore
area, Gold Coast which would result from the proposal to build a
residential/commercial development to support the cruise liner terminal.

Your petitioners therefore request the House to respect the wishes of the
community and refuse any applications made to build a cruise liner
terminal in the Broadwater and any supporting residential and commercial
development on the public open space on the Spit or other Broadwater
foreshore.

Further we seek a commitment from the House to retain and manage the
public open space areas of the Spit and other Broadwater foreshores as
natural areas for the benefit of residents now and in the future.
