The Gold Coast Turf Club, with the approval of the Gold Coast City Council, has destroyed most of the lake.

However, at the Council meeting on 01/09/2020 the Council voted to retain what is left.

Let's hope that they don't change their minds again and decide to continue the destruction of this beautiful habitat.
