The State Government’s plan to revitalise the Southport Spit is set to go through Parliament today.

State Development Minister Cameron Dick said that the Government was investing $60 million into “revitalising” the area on the Gold Coast, and that the project would create 1800 jobs during its lifetime.

Gold Coast Waterways Authority CEO Hal Morris said GCWA had already commenced work on several key projects for The Spit, including improvements to the Seaway Promenade, infrastructure works on the Moondarewa Spit, and shared pathways linking the Muriel Henchman precinct to Doug Jennings Park.
