Queensland Halts Reedy Creek Quarry Project Permanently

Local business owners and residents can breathe a sigh of relief as a major development controversy that has loomed over our community for the past decade has finally reached its conclusion.

Queensland Halts Reedy Creek Quarry Project Permanently

In a decisive move, Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie has removed the key planning overlay that would have allowed quarrying operations in the Gold Coast's Reedy Creek area, providing definitive closure to a decade-long community battle.

This government action follows Boral's formal withdrawal of its development application for the Reedy Creek Key Resource Area Project. The permanent halt means the Tallebudgera Valley and surrounding areas are now protected from future mining applications, representing a significant victory for community advocacy and environmental protection in our region.

This outcome demonstrates the power of sustained community engagement and highlights the importance of local voices in shaping our region's future. As we move forward, businesses and residents can now plan with greater certainty, knowing this beautiful area will remain protected for generations to come.
