THERE are fears from opponents of a Gold Coast cruise ship terminal the project may be refloated when the cruise industry awakens.
With the sector on hiatus for more than 18 months, the Gold Coast City Council and Mayor Tom Tate, a supporter of a cruise ship terminal, put the proposed project on hold.
Advocacy group Save Our Broadwater Vice-President Judy Spence told ABC she is concerned the idea will be refloated.
“I guess it’s never going to go away,” she said.
“The idea of a cruise ship terminal on the Gold Coast has been around for more than a decade.
“Various options have been looked at and none of them have proved particularly successful.”
Spence said she hoped other great alternatives for tourism come to mind in the future, rather than a cruise terminal.
Locations for such a project have previously been identified at Wave Break Island on the Broadwater, and inside the Gold Coast Seaway.
The latest proposal is for an off-shore terminal.
