GCWA seeks opinions about the future of Gold Coast Waterways © Boating Industry Association

The Gold Coast Waterways Authority is developing the Waterways Place Strategy to facilitate future planning, investment decision-making and management activity of the Gold Coast's waterways.

Andrew Fielding (GCWA Board Member) said, "The waterways that weave through the Gold Coast are a very important part of residents' lifestyle, they contribute greatly to the tourism sector, and they play a significant role in the success of South-East Queensland's Marine Industry.

Public consultation is an important part of the decision-making process and the GCWA team are keen to hear from community and industry about what they envisage for the future. To ensure that your opinion is considered in the decisions that will shape the 'Strategy', please take the time (approximately 10 minutes) to complete the survey".
