Give us the point cloud
Ask for data that can be inspected, taught, remixed and checked: point clouds, CAD/GIS, survey notes, constraints, terrain, bathymetry and model files where public release is safe.
Community artefact
The song says the quiet part loudly: give us the raw.
The public ask is simple. If public money buys site knowledge, the community should be able to learn from the public-safe source files, not only react to polished concept images.

Audio/video
Goompi Ferry Terminal Trip.
A protest song, a receipt and an open-data chorus for the ferry terminal upgrade: give us the point cloud, give us the source files, and let local people build ideas from evidence instead of waiting for polished renders.
It gives the public data ask a beat: no locked-away hard drives, no mystery source files, and no future where the island only gets to comment after the important knowledge has already left.
Core refrain
Open files, open minds, open hearts on the shore.
Give us the point cloud, baby, give us the raw,
Let the sand-born mind go ripping through the data's open door.
We'll dream a jetty made of sunlight, cast in local stone,
Cause sovereignty is software that we're meant to own.
Public dollars must create more local skills.
Capability transfer or bust.
The crowd chants Fair Go, the server uploads truth,
The government says, here's your data bro.
Plain-English translation
What the song means as a project brief.
Capability transfer
Use the project to train local people in capture, mapping, source checking, AI prompting, 3D review, public communication and co-op delivery.
No fake certainty
Keep wild ideas labelled as ideas. Keep official facts linked. Keep technical decisions for qualified review.
Make it useful now
Even the rough photo map can help locals point at a place and say: this is where I have an idea, concern or question.
