Around 1998 4ZZZ, 4MBS, and Family Radio started broadcasting from the one installation at Mt Coot-tha. Prior to this 4MBS and Family Radio had merely leased land beside 4ZZZ but then Brisbane City Council decided that having three transmission towers and huts in the one place was an eyesore and encouraged the three radio stations to share facilities. This resulted in the three radio stations developing a company called Broadcasting Park to negotiate with the Council. This company consisted of three shares, one owned by each member station.
Gladstone Ports Corporation admits fault
Queensland Independent MP Liz Cunningham has accused the Gladstone Ports Corporation of deceiving the public.
Cunningham says the Corporation’s claim that the low water quality in the area was a result of flooding was completely untrue.
Environmentalists and concerned locals have expressed concern and anger that the dredging of the harbour is what’s contributing to poor water quality.
The by-product of dredging is stored in a container called a bund and the GPC has finally conceded that one of their bunds has been leaking, contributing to the contamination of the harbour.
