Gold Coast committee rejects Bounty Way parking petition in Pacific Pines
A City of Gold Coast committee has recommended no changes to parking and traffic arrangements on Bounty Way, Pacific Pines, and no suspension or withdrawal of related infringement notices.
Requested parking and traffic changes for Bounty Way at Pacific Pines will not go ahead if City of Gold Coast adopts a committee recommendation made this week.
At its 10 February Transport and Infrastructure Committee meeting, the committee recommended that council not support the petition seeking changes to parking and traffic arrangements on Bounty Way. It also recommended against suspending or withdrawing penalty infringement notices linked to the issue.
The item was one of several transport matters before the committee, but the Bounty Way petition carries a direct local effect for residents and motorists using the street. Under the recommendation, current parking rules would remain in place and past infringement notices would not be set aside through this process.
The committee also recommended that the chief petitioner be advised of the decision and asked to inform the other petitioners.
In the same meeting, the committee did not support a separate Springbrook transport petition, but added a request for the Mayor to write to the Queensland Minister for Transport and the Queensland Minister for Tourism seeking support for a state-funded daily bus connection between Springbrook and Robina.
Other recommendations from the meeting included endorsing the Snapper Rocks to Rainbow Bay Foreshore Precinct Master Plan, noting the Gold Coast World Surfing Reserve Local Stewardship Committee annual report, and seeking State advice on whether former Resilient Homes Fund buyback properties in Tallebudgera could be rezoned back to rural residential before a further report returns to the committee.
The committee recommendations still need to proceed through council's decision-making process. For the Bounty Way matter, the recorded next step is to notify the lead petitioner after council's decision.
