A proposed zipline project at Mt Coot-tha, which promises to have community and economic benefits has come under fire from locals who have concerns about excessive noise, traffic, land clearing, and various environmental impacts.
As part of his 2016 re-election campaign, Brisbane Lord Mayor Graham Quirk promised a zipline for Mt Coot-tha, which promises to provide more than $232 million worth of economic benefits to South-East Queensland over 30 years.
The local Greens state member, Michael Berkman, is leading the protest against its development. He says it’s application is riddled with errors and drastically underestimates the project’s impacts.
