Consultation on the proposed Junner St Terminal Upgrade

The museum has made a comprehensive submission to Transport & Main Roads consultations on the $41m “City Deal” upgrade to the Junner St Terminal at Gumpi. The submission includes a brief history of the terminal, detail about significant heritage places and some economic analysis showing how the proposal is closely linked to the development that was proposed for Toondah harbour.

The full submission can be downloaded from out web-site

https://www.stradbrokemuseum.com.au/post/submission-on-proposed-concept-design-for-the-dunwich-gumpi-ferry-terminal-upgrade-by-north-stradb

Some of the points we make are;
 Native title, ownership and custodianship of the terminal and the adjacent former sand-loading facility is a fundamental issue that should be settled before the design of the upgrade proceeds any further.
 Protection against wind and rain, basic toilet facilities and parking are all lacking. Improvements are needed in traffic flow to better separate pedestrians and vehicles. But this does not imply s unconditional support for other aspects of the upgrade.
 The RCC proposal to move the Flyer from One Mile must be dealt with before any further consultations about Junner St.
 The consultation process is impaired by lack of information including about projected increases in ferry, vehicle and passenger numbers, environmental impacts, economic analysis and governance and management of the terminal.
 There are strong doubts that growth in tourist numbers will be sufficient to justify the $41m public expenditure on the terminal upgrade.
 The upgrade seems to about growth in mass, low-value tourism on Minjerribah. This could be socially, culturally and ecologically detrimental.
 The consideration of cultural heritage and post-colonisation heritage is completely inadequate.
 This is typified by the images in the proposal which show trees growing on the convict causeway. This and the garrison site are the two oldest convict-built structures on the Queensland Heritage Register.

Our conclusion is that the current consultation process is inadequate. It should be stayed and a representative group with strong resident and Quandamooka representation convened to develop a more suitable and satisfactory process.
