THE Queensland Government has assured its fresh Southport Spit master plan will be “community led” and “inclusive”, after a previous $3b plan for a casino and resort on the Gold Coast site was scrapped last year (TD 02 Aug 2017).
The project is a collaboration between the Qld Government, City of Gold Coast (CoGC) and Gold Coast Waterways Authority (GCWA) and is promised to “unlock opportunities for job creation through tourism, entertainment and recreation, while preserving The Spit’s character”.
Qld Minister for State Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning Cameron Dick said the master plan was on track.
Master plan options will be released for public comment in Oct and the final master plan is set to be completed in 2019.
