"Interim amendments bringing complicated body corporate and planning laws into the 21st century were passed by Parliament last night. Minister for Infrastructure and Planning Stirling Hinchliffe said it was time the laws for Sanctuary Cove Resort, Royal Pines Resort, Hope Island Resort, Kingfisher Bay Resort, Laguna Whitsundays Resort and the Sheraton Mirage Port Douglas Resort were simplified and modernised. Minister for Infrastructure and Planning Stirling Hinchliffe said resort laws had not been substantially updated for at least 20 years.
The Integrated Resort Development Act 1987 and Sanctuary Cove Resort Act 1985 were only ever designed to help the resorts develop over a 10-year timeframe,” Mr Hinchliffe said."
