I can not get anything from the website of the Gold Coast Socialist republic.....else there should be info in the meeting minutes (19/5?)

http://www.goldcoast.qld.gov.au/minutes ... -2680.html

The website loads like I have gone back in time and have set the 28.8 to 4800bps!! then the referenced documents simply dont load....they would be trying to keep information from the common people would they (not just shooters) or just playing funny buggers

finally got something.... interesting read :roll: -

The Shop will be limited to a total gross floor area of 41m²


a year or so to get an ok for a permit that involves no actual 'development' other than being permitted to sell stuff .... in an area obviously populated by other places that sell stuff... or provide services for a fee...:thumbsup: you go red tape!!.... no wonder our nations doing so well....if it was an outreach program for a certain minority of the community that apparently has more support than I expected here... it would have been green-lighted over night

.....due to the nature of the facility and goods sold, it is better suited in areas away from major commercial activity centres.
There you go council, keep perpetuating the stereo types and myths.... what do you say when this attitude is so ingrained, that it bridges the lunatic fringe and passes into the planning authority too :unknown: keep it away from where you know, 'normal' people might see a licensed firearm owner buying a gun or a box of ammo...

It is considered that a proposal of this nature is better suited in a fringe business area away from a major activity centres due to potential negative social, amenity and security impacts.
:unknown: Personal opinion has no place when a proposal is measure against a specific criteria. This individual, or group, believe there is a potential for a licensed gun owner to go postal while entering or departing this business...

There is no prohibition on advertising, it simply requires a further application of approval under the relevant local laws.... it could have been handled under the planning, but this way council can extract / extort more $$$ out of the applicant.

Hi Guys, (politically incorrect, but who cares), :mrgreen:

Update on the Advertising issue.
I have finally been given a copy of the Decision Notice on this proposal and Clause 18 (Advertising ) states:-

a. The applicant shall ensure that all advertising devices are static and have no characteristic indicating the premise is a Gun Shop. No neon or illuminated signage is permitted.
b. The applicant shall ensure that only one (1) sign is displayed for the shop (Gun Shop). The sign shall be affixed to the premises and shall not display words or images that explicitly promote the sale of guns to the satisfaction of the Chief Executive Officer.

What a load of garbage.
Just goes to show that the person or persons who ensured the inclusion of this nonsense in the decision should be dismissed from the Gold Coast Council as it clearly show they are unable to make decisions without bias or emotionalism.

So now the owner of this no name shop is required to run a business without advertising his wares and as has been pointed out in previous posts,Brothels in the area have very non discrete advertising.

Brothels for the deviates, needle exchanges for the low life drug scum, but Oh! No, no advertising a premises that is / will be frequented by Law abiding people.

Something is clearly wrong in the values of our skewed society. :evil:

Cheers

Thats laughably ridiculous...
You can advertised but not indicate a gunshop? so maybe word it as "this is NOT a gunshop ;) " then in a small font beneath "we are prohibited from advertising a gunshop on these premises"

The statement doesnt appear in the minutes nor conditions, sound like a random nonsense that wasnt voted on by council, perhaps its the referred 3 page secret attachment.

The would get thrown out by QCAT in no time.... I'd like to think.

Certainly hope you are correct Genesis93 in that QCAT would throw out this clause on appeal.

I only received the Decision paperwork because I made a written submission in support of the shop.

I'm with you in that I have never heard anything so utterly stupid in my entire life.

As I stated, all I can think of is that it has been added by people who are driven by bias and emotionalism.

They need to be weeded out of councils as how may other decisions do they make, that ultimately all they do is waste both time and money.

Although I was convinced a long time ago.... I had a refresher tonight at a council meeting - punter finally got his planning permit to build a house for his family, modest house, nothing spesh..... first submitted the application in 2008. yup, 8yrs....

Councils are full of #$%^* who only want to stop other from doing stuff they should otherwise not need to beg permission for.

They should be deleted from the state law books as they are not recognised by the constitution, neither the commonwealth, even though they throw billions at local councils as 'grants'.... they waste billions of dollars of ratepayers funds that they extort from the home/landowners...while aggrandising their own bureaucratic empires...


This particular application should not have even required a planning permit. It was built, just a matter of rearranging the 'stuff' inside...

Yup,

Past the appealing stage.

Was approved by Council on 24/6/16.

Almost one whole year from the initial date of application. No idea on when it will actually open as has some pretty crazy limits imposed by Council.

Just always remember the name of that Rodent local State Government member who is a Grub and Anti Small Business, except if it is a Brothel or Needle Exchange Service. He did his utmost to stop it. Did not work, so clearly he is useless at getting things done.

MICHAEL HART. Piss him off in the next election.

At least the poor business owner is used to getting a hard time because wait till constable CB from QLD weapons licensing starts making up laws to suit his opinion at the time and then instructs the business owner that he will follow those rules or else! Of course those instructions will be verbal so there is no proof, but it will cost too much in court to challenge the authority of CB.
Good luck to him! He might save himself some pain and move over the border like I did. Then CB won't have any jurisdiction over him.
It's not banned in Queensland but you just can't have one!

Yep, well it's up and running and trading as G & A Tactical on West Burleigh Road.

Shop is well laid out and saves me a trip up through the traffic to Bundall. Drop in and check them out, staff are friendly, prices are very competitive.

The prospective gun shop owner should have just greased some already greasy palms perhaps.

Still looking for a...what the heck is this? A Ute Supplier? No idea what that means, but ready for volunteers. Also, Chief Coordinator of Executions is still open.

No lining up against wall though, we have plenty of power poles, just need a goodly supply of stout hemp rope.
