1. 10-12 Ballow Road
Possible sports and culture hub beside QUAMPI Arts and Culture Centre: sand sport, screen culture, markets, noticeboards, youth roles and visitor orientation if the site checks hold.
Nearby network
One main option, nearby questions.
10-12 Ballow Road is the possible sports and culture hub site between QUAMPI and the ferry gateway. Nearby public proposals only help if the map stays clear: Ready S.E.T. Co-op Trust Hub at 9 Ballow Road is separate, Junner Street is the ferry upgrade area, and Sharks/Allsports is a sports neighbour to respect early.
Neighbouring map
Which neighbour belongs in which conversation?
This page is a sorting table, not an instruction sheet. It asks what each nearby place can add, what it might complicate, and who needs to be in the room before anything moves.
2. Junner Street ferry upgrade
Separate public works area around the ferry terminal, Harold Walker Jetty, public toilets, vehicle queues, bus movement and arrival design.
9 Ballow Road
Ready S.E.T. Co-op Trust Hub is a separate public proposal up Ballow Road, closer to Sharks/Allsports and the shops. It should not be blurred into 10-12 Ballow Road.
Sharks / Allsports
North Stradbroke Island Rugby League and Allsports Club at Ron Stark Oval, 2 Ballow Road, is a nearby sports anchor. The committee could help shape, support or block any sports-precinct story.
Large nearby parks
There are big open parks in the vicinity, but public availability, tenure, master-plan intent, maintenance and community appetite need checking before any idea points at them.
Sister sand sites
Amity and Point Lookout stay as possible later sand-sport sites only after local footprint, access, storage, toilets, neighbours, traffic and club benefit are checked.
Sports and parks
A sports precinct needs allies, not shortcuts.
Dunwich is not a blank map. It already has rugby league, ferry queues, QUAMPI, shops, houses, parks, tourists, buses, walkers, weather pressure and old island memories sitting close together. That is the opportunity, and also the reason to move carefully.
The useful version is a practical invitation: how could nearby sport, culture, visitor services, youth work, screen nights, markets and possible accommodation support each other without crowding each other out?
People who know the place should shape the first useful moves. Sharks/Allsports, QUAMPI, ferry operators, traders, neighbours, park managers, the Chamber, families, Elders and young people will see details a web page cannot. That local knowledge is how the precinct gets sharper, fairer and easier to back.
Sharks / AllsportsWhat would make a sand-sport layer useful to the rugby league and allsports community instead of feeling like a rival sports pitch?
Parks and master planWhich nearby parks are genuinely available for public use now, and which belong in a later public discussion under the Gumpi Master Plan?
Capsule surge hotelCould capsule accommodation, AI/XR simulation or staff-rest space work nearby, and what would beds, access, tenure, services and public benefit look like?
Point Lookout / MulumbaWhich showcase events are worth the traffic, parking and noise load in the sports and recreation zone beside the skate park?
Amity / PulanThe public question is not the cricket field or the club. It is whether the sports and recreation zoned land south beyond them has any useful, low-pressure future role.
