Surfrider Foundation National and Gold Coast-Tweed branch launch campaign against another proposal in early March aiming to prevent the transformation of the Broadwater at The Spit into a cruise ship terminal.

In 2010 Surfrider Foundation Capricorn Coast Branch representatives joined The Keppel and Fitzroy Delta Alliance (KAFDA) to lend their local resources and knowledge to assist in the prevention of 3 industrial developments, including 2 coal export terminals in the Fitzroy River Delta, Keppel Bay and North Curtis Island within the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area.

Environmental impacts which include the loss of core tracts of critically endangered lowland sub-tropical rainforest and 35ha of koala habitat cannot be ignored.

SCEC has been campaiging to secure conditions that will provide the greatest possible environmental protection throughout the life of the Caloundra South development.

SCEC’s divestment campaign: SCEC is campaigning for similar ethical action to be taken by the Sunshine Coast Council, the Noosa Council and the University of the Sunshine Coast.
