Gumpi master plan

Project overview

The Gumpi Master Plan, led by the Queensland Government Department of State Development, Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning, aims to:

  • identify areas for future residential, commercial, community, environmental and industrial land uses
  • explore ways to better tell the Traditional Custodians story to visitors
  • identify necessary upgrades to infrastructure and services to improve liveability
  • acknowledge and respect cultural, social and environmental values
  • enhance the town’s role and appeal as a tourism-friendly destination and gateway to Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island).

There was a strong response to the draft plan during consultation, which gave insight into what the community values now and into the future for Gumpi.

Overall, the feedback supported the intent of the master plan to enhance the tourism offer and as the gateway to Minjerribah. Most of the responses also wanted the master plan to:

  • recognise Quandamooka culture and connection to Country
  • meet the needs of residents, businesses and local employment opportunities
  • value their local character, heritage and culture
  • provide improved infrastructure, connectivity and a sense of arrival
  • preserve the unique environment of Gumpi and Minjerribah.

The master plan has been reviewed, adjusted, and refined to incorporate these community aspirations.
