Subscriber only Livingstone Shire Council voted not to officially endorse Altum Property Group s and the GKI Progress Association s list of Great Keppel Island infrastructure on Tuesday. The council will, however, write to the State Government that it desires responsible redevelopment of Great Keppel Island using all of the government s committed $30 million, possibly beginning with walking trails, visitor facilities, and more. Also included in the council s resolution was the wish that the State Government speed up its decision regarding GKI leases. Although building on the island is the State Government s prerogative, Altum construction director Rob McCready, who was at Tuesday s meeting, hoped council backing would help break something of a stalemate between the two parties.
