Effects of the Closure

The owners of TackleWorld at Sandgate have noticed that there are now few tourists coming into his store to purchase fishing gear, sales being substantially down in tackle and bait. Read the Courier Mail Article

There are less Tourists & Travellers getting off the train at Shorncliffe to walk to the Pier for recreation and fishing. It has been noted that on average 8 persons a day Monday to Friday were seen doing this prior to the Piers Closure. even more on weekends. That equates to at least over 2900 visitors per year and a loss of business for the locals at Shorncliffe just from this source alone, let alone those that travel there by car.

The local people are unable to use the Pier for recreation purposes.

We have not seen photographers taking wedding photos at the Pier since the Pier was closed.
