    1982 Cabinet Minutes

    1982 Cabinet Minutes Selected highlights Queensland State Archives Department of Science, Information Technology, Innovation and the Arts Queensland State Archives Brisbane River development Marina proposals At a meeting held in July Cabinet members authorised lease negotiations to begin for the construction of a marina and tourist complex on the western (river) side of the access road to the new port facilities on Fisherman Islands, at the mouth of the Brisbane River (Sub. 34123; Dec. 38151). In August Cabinet approved ‘in principle’ the redevelopment of the Kangaroo Point Shipyard area into prestige housing, a hotel and a marina (Sub. 34230; Dec. 38268). The possible inclusion of the Yungaba Immigration Depot site and other adjacent pieces of land was mentioned. Two weeks later Cabinet members further considered the proposed marina on reclaimed land near the mouth of the Brisbane River, deciding that a Special Lease would be issued for the site (Sub. 34329; Dec. 38372). Dredging operations Cabinet members discussed dredging in the Brisbane River at a number of meetings. They agreed in February to stop issuing dredging permits in the area near Karana Downs (Sub. 33007; Dec. 37041) The Department of Harbours and Marine advised that sand and gravel resources were being exploited faster than they were replenished. Gravel deposits were expected to be ‘substantially depleted’ within 10 years, but sand reserves were expected to last for ‘many decades’. At several meetings from February onwards Cabinet also discussed the rezoning of a block of land at Fig Tree Pocket (Sub. 33142; Dec 37062). The land, situated directly across the river from a sand and gravel works, was to be protected from noise by an earth bund and dense vegetation planting (Sub.
