I love those naturally occurring seaway rock walls, dregded channel and the natural beauty of wave break island.

Nope, no development there, a true pristine wilderness.

I think there is a place for developement next to the beach. I certainly believe the strip between scabs and trigg could do with some rich arse capitalist to chuck some bucks at it. When you watch the video it is evident that the locals on the goldy have given plenty to such people and the government. It seems to me there is more to be lost than what there is to be gained. One good thing about being so isolated here in the west is we are a bit of the radar allthough there have been many coastal developemnet in the north which seem to get backing with little local input. The miners have a big say in what happens in the big state and sometimes it appears to me that out of sight out of mind is the mentallity of the wa govt.

I am signing the partition good luck.

No mate, quite the opposite of narrow minded. I just don't get sold on the crap being spun by the government on this.

For what it's worth I am more interested in the water than the land in that area. I have no real issue with development if done correctly but I strongly oppose the idea of a cruise ship terminal inside the seaway as the idea simply makes no sense.

The CST is a red herring to gain approval to develop by using the unlikely addition of tourism money to the Coast when in reality it will cost far more than it makes, in establishment and maintenance alone for its operations, in losses to real estate prices, social costs with the loss of free land and existing fishing, boating, diving, surfing and tourism in the Broadwater. These far exceed the revenues created by a CST even if it were to do extremely well, all logic tells us however that it wouldn't.

Furthermore, any development that did go ahead would be better off without the CST and its constant dredging.

For the record clown was a bit strong, I don't really think people who support the CST are that dumb, they just don't know enough about it yet to oppose.

The ultimate spinners of crap are the vocal minorities. Make a lot of noise, call in so called experts and shout down and insult all that may have another view.

Perfect example of this was that disconnex group. A vocal minority that knew how to make all the right noises. They got the government and council to backflip, but at what cost. Huge cost to the rate payer to go back to council control. Where are they and their experts of convenience now. Alconnex were a professional outfit, and a pleasure to deal with unlike the council.

And yes it is a minority, Qld voted overwhelmingly for this govertment knowing full well its stance on development.

The whole gold coast is one big development, constantly being sold off.

Tate himself??!! haha, seriously though the goldie has been overdeveloped and to leave some public open space in that area cannot be a bad thing, There has to be more ways to increase employment and infrastructure without destroying straddie and sorrounding areas. Love Tates' comments, theres surf here there, gets goood at times, not bad for a fat cat whos probably never had a decent crack if a crack at all at surfing, have a look at the C**T!! has dollar signs in his eyeballs.
