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, social and economic impacts of a cruise liner/military vessel terminal in the Broadwater and marina in the Marine Stadium resulting in the loss of public open space on Spit, Main Beach, Gold Coast as a result of this proposal.
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 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.
