Palm Beach mother Karen Rowles (left) has started a petition against extending the light rail to Burleigh. Our readers had very mixed views on the subject.

Ray Brida: Here go the minority again. Bet they won’t whinge when their house prices go up because of the light rail.

Debbie Bousgas: It’s inevitable. Progress. If you want to live in a quiet coastal area, move to Yamba or other areas. Burleigh lost it original quiet small town feel long ago

Christine Pearce: They are pushing for highrises all along the coast down to Cooly. No one wants the tram below Broadbeach. Taelum Warren: The parking

problem in Burleigh is bad. Trams will solve a lot of the problem. Hipsters think they are in control of everything these days!

Paul Viles: Love the trams, tram to Helensvale awesome and tram from Gold Coast airport to Surfers and Helensvale another awesome!

Tanya Ferguson: I agree we locals were not consulted. We do not want trams in Burleigh. The buses run from GC airport and are great! They are underutilised. Just need to promote

and use the buses and make sure they are a tip top service. Trams will destroy Burleigh

Mandy Moo: Be fantastic to have it going right up to there. Can save taking the car, avoid the traffic. Typical someone wants to stop development happening esp when it will be a positive. All you hipsters go back and hide in your hole!

Janine Mackney: Trams will wipe out the Koalas in Burleigh.

Lynette May Rogers: It is a no brainer... all the way to the airport!
