Legal or Underground? The Gold Coast is now in a prime
position to use
CI's DA approval by
BCC as an example to further the cause of swingers both
locally and elsewhere in Australia.
The X-Club first attempted to gain legitimate status in 2007
after 10 successful years operating as an underground club. The
business development application was thwarted by a combination
of complaints from 'local' residents followed by a course of
actions undertaken by GCCC.
Most objections to X-Club's DA were on moral
grounds and during the DA process, GCCC amended the local
business act to exclude swinges clubs from operating in a
commercial business zone. |
The Moral Majority Local
media were quick to pick up on the story and quickly managed
to create an explosive issue involving a prominent Gold Coast
Councillor.
State government and local councils will eventually have to
realise that swingers clubs are a legitimate business and have a
place in our society.
Sex Shops, Brothels and Nightclubs are all legitimate
business options in Queensland and all have unending legal,
moral and ethical issues surrounding their locations and trading
hours.

swingers club in Queensland. Brisbane City Council have approved
their development application paving the way to legitimise the
swinger's lifestyle choice.

Swingers want their clubs to be safe,
accessible and private. Prostitution, Alcohol and under-age drinking
are not issues within the club scene. Patronage and membership is
targeted directly towards couples over 21.
