“I’ve got a lot of good memories from NightQuarter personally … I think if they do close it would be a waste of an asset to the Gold Coast,” he said.

Mr McKenna said he hadn’t anticipated the enormous response.

“I just wanted to put a petition forward and hopefully make a change for the better,” he said.

“(The response) tells me Scentre Group need to rethink their decision and possibly keep NightQuarter open.”
