The Great Keppel Island (Woppa) Arrivals Plaza and Amenities project is a catalyst project identified in the Great Keppel Island (Woppa) Concept Master Plan to provide a vibrant, culturally-informative gathering place for visitors to the island.
Council, in partnership with the Queensland Government, has commenced a detailed concept design process for the Great Keppel Island (Woppa) Arrivals Plaza and Amenities project.
The concept proposes a new amenities building accommodating
toilets, lockers and change facilities and a multipurpose tenancy space that could
facilitate a variety of commercial uses. These facilities are supported by
generous outdoor spaces that include shaded paved seating and bbq areas, lawn
areas with integrated nature play, Woppaburra welcoming circle, beach showers
and boardwalk access to Fisherman’s beach and the ferry services.

Plaza and Amenities
The arrivals plaza will create a sense of excitement and encourage visitors to explore Great Keppel Island (Woppa). The arrivals plaza will be located adjacent to the Great Keppel Island Hideaway Resort and Great Keppel Island Holiday Village.
The intent for the Arrivals Plaza is to create a dedicated arrival experience for visitors to Great Keppel Island (Woppa) which promotes the unique cultural and natural character. The Arrivals Plaza aims to become a catalyst project for the broader future masterplanning objectives proposed for the island that aim to rejuvenate tourism and economic activity.
