The proposed expansion of Dreamworld, located in Coomera, Gold Coast, Australia, has raised significant concerns regarding potential traffic congestion in the already gridlocked region. The expansion plan includes clearing vegetation for a resort-style hotel and additional short and long-term accommodation. Local resident Tim Walker expressed disbelief at the scale of development being considered, noting the area's traffic issues, particularly during peak hours. Urban planning expert Daniel O'Hare suggested a more sustainable approach, advocating for the use of existing car park land rather than clearing natural habitats. The Queensland Planning Minister, Jarrod Bleijie, has acknowledged these concerns and stated that the local road network will be taken into account during the assessment process. He emphasized the need for solutions that address traffic issues while promoting ecotourism. The final decision on the expansion will be made by Bleijie, who is currently reviewing the proposal.
