We believe we've found the first images of the upcoming Uptown redevelopment. Looks to be a attempt to go high end, with significant construction work on the Mall likely in order (the 1987/88 new-build facades (Myer entrance, and between the York Hotel and Newspaper House facades going)

This study unfortunately never examined a Queensland politician at this time of year however. The Queensland political class's vision on daylight saving is stuck in 1992: the same year the mother of the house was first elected in Maroochydore, and 10 years before it's youngest MP was born. #qldpol

Maybe that's why the Movie World hotel has been stalled, despite being approved by the GCCC without government interference: because VRTP realises... like the rest of us: that a theme park hotel on the northern GC needs a viable connection to the Gold Coast airport that doesn't rely on the M1.

Now figure out how long it currently takes to get by public transport from OOL to Coomera, once the M1 is choked with shuttle buses. Kinda need that multi-modal option for OOL... before the airport's owners campaign for a border redraw to join NSW: and get the transport infrastructure they need.

We have highlighted two initatives from the draft document. The second is a gigantic message to the QLD Government. NSW views the GC Airport as a trip generator, and will ultimately be endorsed in NSW transport planning from later this year. QLD needs to view it with the same zeal. #qldpol

Initiative 1: NSW North Coast line improvements: explicitly referencing Queensland.

Initiative 2: Cross-border transport access and service integration: most notably seeing the GC Airport, Southern Cross University (Coolangatta Campus is on GC Airport land) and John Flynn Private Hospital (Tugun, near the Varsity Lakes-GC Airport heavy rail reservation) are explicitly mentioned.
