Effective today, Gold Coast Tourism has announced new rules aimed at stopping Kiwi travellers from raining all over New Zealand's number one holiday destination, the Gold Coast.
Renowned for having over 300 days of sunshine annually, the Gold Coast receives a flood of bad weather carriers entering the region every year. New measures are being implemented to help mitigate the risk of exposure to negative weather conditions and Gold Coast Tourism is forecasting a changing front with the introduction of its new Gold Coast Weather Protection Unit (GCWPU). The GCWPU will target the source of the problem; Kiwi travellers bringing the bad weather with them.
Senior Constable Steve Trique is head of the new GCWPU and is thundering into his new role:
"As the colder months roll into New Zealand, more Kiwis are looking to make their way over to the Gold Coast, bringing with them treacherous weather that we don't want infecting our clear blue skies. Travellers need to know that we will be on them lightning fast if we suspect they have brought even a hint of precipitation with them."
The GCWPU will provide a water-tight layer of additional screening to help protect Gold Coast's sunny borders from the onslaught of contagious wintery and rainy New Zealand weather.
