September Update

As Council continues to work on recommencing the upgrade of Headland Park at Point Lookout (Mooloomba) on North Stradbroke Island (Minjerribah), the area still offers locals and visitors spectacular experiences.

The Headland Park upgrade project was paused in June so the play space could be redesigned to suit a new spot closer to the existing amenities block, to further preserve an area of significant cultural heritage.

The upgrade will see a new play space with marine-inspired play elements with cultural connections, including a whale-inspired climbing unit and turtle play structure, as well as new picnic facilities and sealing of the carpark.

Meanwhile, residents and visitors to Point Lookout can still enjoy panoramic views, access to the north and south sections of the Gorge Walk and grassy spaces perfect for picnics.

Nearby boutique stores, gourmet coffee, accommodation and gelato shops make it easy to stay a little longer.

Although the current play equipment has been taped off for safety reasons and in anticipation of the exciting new play space that is planned, just 2.5km down the road from Headland Park, the recently upgraded play space at Point Lookout Oval (opposite Point Lookout Bowls Club) is ready for action.

An easy, five-minute drive from Headland Park, Point Lookout Oval has a skate park, tennis half courts, kick-about area and play space with climbing net and slide, swings, spinner and treehouse cubby. There is also plenty of shade and parking, right beside a glorious stretch of beach.

Council will continue to update the community on the upgrade plan for Headland Park.
