Gold Coast City Council will spend the next 12 weeks investigating a renewed push to get a cable car project airborne between Mudgeeraba and Springbrook.
It is the latest example of a 20-year wish to build a Gold Coast equivalent to the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway between Smithfield and Kuranda, north of Cairns.
The skyrail in far north Queensland runs through World Heritage-listed rainforest. It has attracted more than 10 million passengers since it began in 1995.
