I’d like to thank everyone in the community who has participated in this process, including the City of Gold Coast and the Gold Coast Waterways Authority, which have worked in partnership with our government to produce this blueprint for the future. We have received more than 14,000 pieces of feedback on the master planning options and have so far conducted two master planning workshops, each attended by around 50 key stakeholders and community representatives. In early 2019, we’ll finish the draft master plan, which will then go out for additional community consultation, and following this there’ll be a further two master planning workshops ahead of the master plan being finalised and released. This is a fantastic opportunity to create more jobs for the Gold Coast through tourism, entertainment and recreation, while preserving the unique character of The Spit for many generations to enjoy.
