Market onboarding, transport checks and public noticeboard thinking.
Dunwich / Goompi, Minjerribah
A sand-sport and screen hub with a pulse.

Main address10-12 Ballow Road, between QUAMPI at 14-16 Ballow Road and the ferry gateway.
Main engineSand sport by day, screen and market energy by night.

Live status check: the public listing for 10-12 Ballow Road showed a competitive tender that closed on 27 March 2026. Current ownership, sale and planning status belongs in the next due-diligence pass.
Sand between our toes
Bring your game. Bring your grin. Let the island play.
Cricket at dawn, footy or Frisbee by noon, BBQ smoke in the air and cinema under the moon. The song says what the plan is chasing: a sand-sports club with heart, shade, music and room for everyone.
Watch the short, sing along, then help shape the options: Ready S.E.T. Co-op Trust Hub at 9 Ballow Road as its own public proposal, and 10-12 Ballow Road as a possible sports and culture hub beside QUAMPI if the site and community fit line up.
The offer
Make the gateway useful before it gets glossy.
The island deserves more than a tourism poster. The hub can be a working place to meet, move, eat, trade, watch films, play sport, hear music, find visitor information and give young people real jobs to practise.
The winning version is confident and adaptable: strong enough to host sport and festivals, practical enough for older locals, and clear enough that visitors know how to behave before they wander off the ferry.
Families and older localsShade, toilets, seating, readable signs, earlier hours and quieter corners make the place usable.
Youth and local workersSport, filming, stall setup, tech help, hospitality and event support become real entry-level experience.
VisitorsFerry times, last return, local conduct, spend-local options and bad-weather plans sit right where people arrive.
