The City has prepared a draft Broadbeach Foreshore Land Management Plan (LMP) under the provisions of the Land Act 1994 to guide Council decisions relating to the use and management of the foreshore. We are considering feedback received on the draft plan and undertaking further investigations to inform the final plan.
The community engagement report is available here.
The aim of the plan is to protect the integrity of the foreshore by considering the balance between general recreational use and organised community and commercial activities.
The draft LMP proposes that all existing land uses and activities continue in the reserve. Some new land uses and improvements are proposed, including:
extended community and commercial events and activations at Kurrawa Foreshore (more than 14 days in a calendar year and not involving permanent infrastructure). This could include a summer open air cinema, beach tennis fixture, beach club with licensed bar and kitchen, and family friendly entertainment
new usable public space to enhance the Kurrawa Foreshore
new/improved lighting for the existing beach volleyball courts to enable night play
a change to restrict community celebrations, temporary events and activations and weekend markets to north of Pratten Park playground and carpark to provide greater access of the dog-off leash area for local residents.
We want to ensure the foreshore continues to provide opportunities for active and passive recreation, while maintaining its position as a premier event destination for residents and visitors alike.
Thank you to everyone who provided feedback as part of the community engagement, which ran from Friday 31 May to Thursday 4 July 2024.
