The Wire

The long and frustrating battle against a major infrastructure development at Tugun, a small village on the southern end of QLD’s Gold Coast, continues despite major protests over the last seven years from local Aboriginal & environmental groups. The Tugun Bypass was approved under a C4 option, one of many given in 1998, and is seven kilometres of four lane highway that passes through the Gold Coast Airport. The bypass is set to improve congestion in the area, and will cost taxpayers over $546 million, but at what cost to the land?
