FAQs

The Eaglemont Estate Master Plan will guide how the site may be used and developed over time. It will consider community needs, environmental and cultural values, and opportunities to improve amenities and access for both locals and visitors.

The City of Gold Coast acquired Eaglemont Estate to provide community infrastructure and support appropriate nature-based tourism. A master plan is needed to ensure any future use of the site is carefully planned, balanced and sustainable.

Nature-based tourism involves experiences in natural settings that focus on sustainability, conservation and education. Examples may include guided walks, nature-based learning experiences, eco accommodation or low-impact visitor facilities that help people enjoy the area responsibly.

The CRG is a small group of community members who will provide local knowledge, perspectives and feedback to help inform the master planning process. It is an advisory group and does not make decisions.

CRG members will:

• receive updates on the project 
• share their knowledge and experiences 
• identify risks and opportunities 
• provide feedback to help inform the master plan. 

Members will be selected through an Expression of Interest (EOI) process. Applications will be assessed against criteria to ensure a balanced group representing a range of community perspectives, including residents, businesses and environmental interests.

CRG members will attend a series of in-person meetings over approximately 12 months. Meetings will run for around 2 hours and will be held at Eaglemont Estate or Springbrook Community Hall.
