Fraser Straits Marina Pty Ltd has launched an appeal against the conditions imposed by Gympie Regional Council on the proposal to construct a Marina in Snapper Creek, Tin Can Bay.

Although the Council approved the application, it imposed a number of conditions related to the provision of water, sewerage and other infrastructure. The proponents clearly want the community to pay for significant infrastructure costs in establishing this facility which is being marketed at wealthy boat owners.

SSSMeg, Cooloola Coastcare Inc, SOS Tin Can Bay and many other community organisations strongly opposes the development proposal on environmental, social and economic grounds. For more information on the potential environmental impacts visit the Campaign website.

Together with Cooloola Coastcare and SOS Tin Can Bay, SSSMeg will be working to convince Federal Environment Minister Garrett to reject this proposal on environmental grounds under the EPBC Act.
