Unfortunately the Cableway proposal marches slowly on. No new money was allocated for further studies. Yes, the council entity pushing this destructive proposal are talking to proponents. Proponents who want Council to use rate payers money to do all the preliminary studies. Studies that could cost up to $11 million. Below is the resolution passed at a full council meeting n the 2nd of December.

Cableway: Join us tomorrow morning at 9am at GCCC Chambers, Bundall. Consultants say it is an “expensive task” and the only way to de-risk the project will be to secure full environmental approvals under the Federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act and await a government review.
“If it is a full EPBC submission and community engagement and all other aspects to reduce risk, it would be far more than $1m and probably $3m to $4m to engage a private planning firm,” a leading consultant said.

Please attend this vigil against the cableway next Tuesday, the 26th of August. At the Council Chambers in the HOTA precinct in Bundall.
