The Great Keppel Island Boardwalks project is an integral part of the Great Keppel Island Concept Master Plan, aimed at improving accessibility and connectivity across key areas of the island.

The project includes the investigation and design development of three distinct boardwalk sites, providing visitors with safe, environmentally sensitive pathways to explore the island’s unique coastal landscapes.

The three proposed boardwalk sites under investigation for design are:

1. Extension Along Fisherman’s Beach: Enhancing the existing pathway to improve connectivity and accessibility for visitors arriving at the Island and exploring the main beach area.
2. Fisherman’s Beach to Shelving Beach Headland: A new boardwalk that offers a scenic route along the coastline, providing opportunities to enjoy the island's natural beauty while connecting key locations.
3. Shelving Beach to Monkey Beach Headland: A boardwalk designed to link two popular beaches, enabling visitors to navigate the island safely and with minimal environmental impact along the nearby reefs.

Key features of the boardwalks include:

• Environmentally Sustainable Design: Use of durable, eco-friendly materials that harmonize with the island's natural surroundings.
• Improved Accessibility: Inclusive design to ensure safe and easy access for all visitors, including those with mobility challenges.
• Enhanced Visitor Experience: Integration of shaded rest areas, seating, and viewing platforms to provide spaces for relaxation and appreciation of the island's scenic views.

By creating these boardwalks, the project aims to improve the visitor experience while protecting the island’s delicate environment and promoting sustainable tourism. Not commitment for construction has been made yet towards the boardwalks. An appropriate investment decision will be made at the conclusion of public engagement and design.
