Big Wheel will see HTCM in Court

THE owner of a Ferris wheel that was to soar high over Harbour Town has lodged legal action to recoup $390,000 he says was lost when the shopping centre cancelled the project at the last minute.
The giant wheel was to go up in the carpark of the Biggera Waters shopping centre in January but was halted at the last minute when Mayor Ron Clarke asked for further council investigations into the approval of the 15-storey structure.
Mr Jackson said he spent time and money promoting the wheel, had signs made up to direct crowds, installed fencing, sought private planning advice and organised insurance in the lead-up to signing a lease with HTCM.
