SAVE OUR SPIT



AN OPEN LETTER TO GOLD COASTERS & VISITORS



Dear Gold Coasters,

Most of you would be aware of the Notional Seaway Project involving construction of a cruise ship terminal on the northern end of the Spit and a marina in Marine Stadium.

Save Our Spit Alliance (SOSA) is a growing alliance of community groups, business and individuals who oppose the Beattie Government’s plans as a greedy land grab. We think the proposals offer little benefit and involve great costs to the Gold Coast community.

SOSA has been working very hard for over 18 months to critically review all proposals and to enforce government accountability in this project for all people who use and love the Spit.
  • We have collected and sent petitions with over 15,000 signatures to the Beattie government;
  • attended community cabinet meetings; met with public servants, consultants and government representatives;
  • consulted with the GCCC; identified holes in government plans and documents; sent in over 80 page submissions;
  • attended EIS consultations;
  • done media interviews;
  • released dozens of press releases;
  • spoken at countless school and public meetings;
  • written articles for magazines;
  • conducted successful rallies on the Spit … and more.


You name it, we have taken every opportunity to get the message out that the project is NOT wanted by the Gold Coast community.

However, the project is approaching a critical stage. The consultants are about to hand down the Environmental Impact Statement and the Coordinator General will soon consider whether or not the project will proceed.

SOSA needs YOUR help now if we are to continue to fight the cruise ship proposal and we have established the SOS fighting fund to enable us to commence a media campaign to further inform and motivate public rejection of the project, as well as to fund further rallies and other public activities.

SOSA is seeking donations to the Fund to enable it to take our campaign to a new level.

We are asking all Gold Coasters and concerned friends to donate to the Fund to help SOSA continue the fight. Please donate according to your means. All donations will be used solely to save our Spit.
