GKI Arrivals Plaza and Amenities Project - Community Information Session Emu Park
We invite you to join Council representatives at the Emu Park Lions Markets to learn more about the Great Keppel Island (Woppa) Arrivals Plaza and Amenities Project.
Livingstone Shire Council is excited to announce the launch of the design consultation phase for the Great Keppel Island (Woppa) Arrivals Plaza and Amenities project, marking a significant step in delivering key priorities from the Great Keppel Island Master Plan.
This project, made possible through a partnership with the Queensland Government’s Department of Tourism and Sport, will establish a new arrivals precinct at Fisherman’s Beach. The Arrivals Plaza will include a visitor information centre, welcoming place/yarning circle with seating, amenities block, exhibition area, beach showers, landscaping, as well as a commercial outlet for a future tenant space, creating an enhanced experience for both locals and visitors.
Key features of the Arrivals Plaza will include shaded seating areas, storage lockers, and a welcoming place where Woppaburra rangers can introduce visitors to the island’s cultural significance. The new visitor centre will serve as a hub for tourism, offering information on local activities, wildlife, and walking trails.
Public consultation sessions will be held at the following locations:
- Sunday 20 October 2024, 8am – 12pm Emu Park Lions Club Markets, Bell Park
- Tuesday 22 October 2024, 10am – 12pm Great Keppel Island Hideaway, Great Keppel Island
Council encourages all Livingstone residents to get involved in the consultation process. You can participate by attending the community information sessions or visiting the project website to view the concept designs.
Community feedback is crucial to ensure the final design meets the needs of both residents and visitors to Great Keppel Island!
Hard copies of the designs will also be available for viewing at Council’s customer service centres in Normanby Street and Emu Park.
