Brisbane’s new lord mayor, Adrian Schrinner, is at the receiving end of public criticism regarding the Mt
Coot-tha zipline project, after saying he would happily pay $100 to ride it.
The community group, Mt Coot-tha Protection Alliance, launched a court appeal for Councillor Schrinner to review the project, that began under former lord mayor Graham Quirk and stirred controversy over the use of public land for private enterprise, as well as its ecological impact.
Councillor Schrinner confirmed he will take a “close look” at the controversial project as a priority, after over 40 messages were sent to his office by midday yesterday raising their concerns.
