Redland City Council's plan to survey residents visiting the set of Narnia at Cleveland Point has not eventuated, with an online survey still in development as the set is dismantled this week.
In August, Cleveland councillor Craig Ogilvie successfully moved that the council investigate other options for the Cleveland Point master plan, which is due to be implemented early next year and sees the 'ring road' retained.
Cr Ogilvie said the design of the film set allowed residents to trial the non-ring road option, which allows for green space right up to the water and removes the constant flow of traffic.
"The wheels of government turn frustratingly slow sometimes," Cr Ogilvie said last week.
"The layout will remain there for a few weeks yet, so there will still be time to suck it and see."
The survey, which will be run through the council's website at a date still to be determined, will also ask about residents' enthusiasm for other film projects at the site and wider use of the space.
Cr Ogilvie said he did not support the suggestion made by departing Narnia crew that the large concrete slab, built as part of the gimbal to manoeuvre the Dawn Treader ship, be used for a carousel. He has previously suggested a gazebo might be more appropriate.
"I think a carousel there would be tacky, but if the community knocks down the doors demanding it then the council could consider it," he said.
The council's chief executive, Gary Stevenson, said a carousel was not being considered and was "not in keeping with the adopted master plan for this location".
"Should the community show a preference for another design, the new version will be subject to a public review period before a revised master plan is presented to the council for consideration."
Mr Stevenson also said while there had been some site visits from other film companies, the council had had no direct discussions with the companies regarding any specific projects.
He said benefits to the Redlands community from the Narnia project included advertising and promotion of the region through media coverage and internet interest; local employment opportunities for tradespeople, security, traffic management, designers and engineers; local businesses in catering, restaurants, hardware, metal fabrication, landscaping and tourism; as well as long term tourism benefits through the recognition of Cleveland Point as a key filming location.
