Let our big ships come in

Several options to upgrade Cunningham Pier are being considered, as the Geelong council pursues rapid growth in the cruise ship market.

It’s taken them how long to figure out that it would be good for Geelong? Been missing out for years. Bek Walsh

So let me guess . . . taxpayers to pay to bring Costa’s privately owned pier to standard. Mark Brian

And cue the Greenies. Marty Job

Good, they have been talking long enough about upgrading Cunning- ham Pier so more cruise lines will visit Geelong. Margaret Wright

What’s wrong with running tenders from ship to shore the way they do in most countries. Veronica Roper

Very good idea. Tonia Kichakova

Business musicians. Barry Tippett opportunity

Been saying this for years myself. Peter Harris

Ever thought of situating a cruise terminal at the old Alcoa plant. Ready-made for ships, near the CBD and crying out for a refit. Julie Humphreys

I was going to say the same thing. Perfect location. Abbey Sherwell

Must be a bastard to admit Darryn Lyons was right. Jeff Paull

Fantastic idea, I remember someone trying to push for this a while ago. George G Camorra

That’s what Darryn Lyons wanted to do and you all shut it down but I guess as it’s the new council’s idea it’s a good one. Steve Kerr

Excellent idea, and also look at rebuild of Yarra St pier for the same purpose. Dean Campbell

I like how they love the Christmas tree as well but no credit given to Darryn once again. Robyn Anne Macleod

Yes, this should have been done years ago. Christopher John Slevin
