Greenmount Beach locals were shocked to see heavy machinery on the beach yesterday, destroying sand dunes so practice beach volleyball courts can be built at Coolangatta for the Commonwealth Games.
The Games Organising Committee GOLDOC had previously requested the Gold Coast City Council to move the sand however locals say they were not consulted about the work.
Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate stated the council had the State Government’s permission for the work adding the dunes would be reinstated after the Games.
