The Gold Coast cruise terminal debate has fired up again with several new proposals on the table for consideration by the Gold Coast City Council.
Millionaire developer Bob Ells is reportedly proposing the development of an AUD$200+ million facility close to Coolangatta airport in North Kirra which is set to include three hotels, three berths, a casino, water port, underwater observatory, new North Kirra Surf Club and a super yacht marina.
Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate spoke of Mr Ells’ plans on ABC Brisbane radio last week, stating that whilst the council would consider the facility, there are three other options that have been put on the table as well.
These three options include a y-shaped terminal near the Sheraton on the ocean side of the Spit, which will be able to berth four megaliners, a terminal at the man-made Wave Break Island at the end of the Spit and a third option on the southern side of Wave Break Island.
