City of Gold Coast has this afternoon shut Council carparks at the Spit.
Chair of the Local Disaster Management Group and Mayor, Tom Tate said he was left with no choice after people continued to gather in groups there today.
"People are just not listening so we have taken this measure to discourage visitors," he said.
"The message is clear. We can no longer be gathering in groups larger than two and we should only be out for essential activities and exercise.
"A lazy day at the Spit should not be on the cards right now.
"Staying home is the best way to keep us all safe."
The Spit will re-open and beachside car parks will be progressively opened, Mayor Tom Tate announced today.
“Congratulations Gold Coasters. You have been doing the right thing, practising social distancing and staying at home,” Mayor Tom Tate said.
“So I have taken the decision to open the Spit from midnight tonight, and we will progressively open the public car parks from today.”
Mayor Tom Tate asked everyone to abide by the Queensland Government restrictions which will be easing slightly from the weekend.
