When: 11:00 am – Friday 11th February 2011

In attendance

Bob Janssen -  President, Combined Chambers of Commerce and will also represent CCIQ
Charles Dickson – Gold Coast Manager, Marine Queensland
Bill Barry-Cotter – CEO, Maritimo Australia
Amanda Lake – “Our Tipplers” concept planner

We are not happy with how this matter has been handled by Gold Coast City Council – no consultation and a complete lack of understanding of the needs and interests of the marine industry and the boating community not to mention ignoring the prospects for a better outcome for ratepayers.

In our view, this is a failure of local government and we will be jointly making statements as to what we expect should be done to remedy this unsatisfactory situation.

Information has come to light that indicates that this council is saying one thing and doing another – more on that tomorrow.

Keith Douglas – Spokesman – Marine Action Group
