Great Keppel (Wop-pa) Island Master Plan Project

Overview

The Great Keppel (Wop-pa) Island (GKI) Master Plan Project is a key step in delivering on the Queensland Government’s commitment to revitalise tourism on GKI.

The Master plan will aim to:

• enhance GKI as a premier tourism destination in Queensland
• facilitate development and investment aspirations through identifying preferred tourism development opportunities that align with the current and future tourism and investment market and the community’s vision for the island
• identify priority common-user infrastructure for improving island accessibility, amenity, appearance, sustainability, operability and supporting tourism opportunities
• consider the planning constraints and opportunities associated with infrastructure, land tenure, environmental and cultural heritage values and stakeholder aspirations
• protect the core characteristics that make GKI the special place that it is by protecting important resources on the island and preserving areas of environmental and cultural significance
• facilitate the revitalisation of GKI for the benefit of the visitors, businesses and the community
• acknowledge the Woppaburra People as the traditional owners of the island and surrounding Sea Country and ensure cultural values are considered.
