Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate has announced he will continue with a proposal to create a cableway in the hinterland despite a petition opposing the development.
14,000 signatures were gathered on the petition. Residents argue the money could be better spent without impacting residents and the environment.
The petition will be forwarded to Environment Minister and local MP, Meaghan Scanlon.
Mayor Tate says the cableway is vital for supporting the struggling tourism industry.
