The whole site, at a glance
Site map & growth plan
The site is sorted into plain areas, each answering something a local might actually ask. This map shows more than what's built: it shows the surveyed ground each area will grow into, and marks honestly what is live, what is under construction, and what is only named so far. Nothing here is a "coming soon" tease. It's a plan you can watch fill in.
- Live on the site
- Under construction

- Home: what the whole thing is, and what it's for.
- The line on the ground: the real places it touches: ferry, hub, wellness portal, sports ground, old mine.
- How to read this site: the five labels, the two lanes, and how a wild idea earns its way up.
- Country: the QYAC-doorway posture in full, and why it comes first.
- The walls, named: the legal walls and where the on-screen work begins.
- Site map & growth plan: this page.
- The Screen lane: the cinema canon, linking the film chapters.

- Ferry terminal open data lab: 33 mapped 360° panoramas of the vacant foreshore, where a government upgrade is coming. The community's own evidence for shaping it.
- Ballow Road sand & screen hub: 44 more panoramas of a vacant block whose future is still open. Mapped to keep the community in the conversation.

- People and trust: the overview and the governance receipts.
- Patient capital: the locked fund, how it gets filled, the C-hour, and a compounder you can play with.
- Care is the first infrastructure: staving off dementia, honouring carers, and care's two honest economies.
- The Aura Geode: the mask-fed wellness capsule, the de-slop protocol, and the path to certification.
- Sovereign wealth fund design: the two-fund lock-box, in full engineering detail.
- Benefit-sharing deep dive: WGEH, Noongar and native-title mechanics in full.
- Ready S.E.T. co-op trust hub: the community trust plan, as a standalone chapter.
what it's made ofThe sand and the bench

- The bench: sand literacy and the first atoms.
- What the island is made of: the five minerals and the evidence-tiered periodic table.
- The tip loop: the island's other ore body: repair, strip, sort, feed the work.
- Quartz: glass, silicon, chips, silicone, heat storage.
- Zircon: hard ceramics, furnace linings, reactor-grade metal, the setting-agent loop.
- Rutile & ilmenite: white pigment, sea-proof metal, iron and ochre from the leftovers.
- Monazite: magnet metals, the thorium that came back, and the radioactive duty.
- Atoms, modules, trajectories: the education spine.
- Straddie maker-space lab: being folded into this area.
keeping the lights onEnergy, everywhere and gentle

- Energy: the island budget and the readiness board. Rule: zero new land cleared.
- Solar on what's already standing: roofs, carparks, tanks, fences and roads, never cleared land.
- Ocean energy, wildlife-safe: ten gentle machines, no blade near a living thing.
- Bladeless wind: vortex masts, flutter ribbons, honest about the trade-offs.
- Storing power for the dark and the calm: pumped hydro, sand, iron-air, sodium-ion, hydrogen and more, round-trip losses shown.
- The breath of the city: cooling and heating underground, one machine for both.
- The drawing board: kids sketch new machines; quick honest numbers; maker-space builds.
- Clean energy workbench: being folded in and improved.

- Tunnels: the toolkit, the frontier line, the aquifer-first rule.
- Digging under wet sand: boring machines, freezing the ground, and protecting the water first.
- Turning the dig into rooms: the hole becomes the building: interlocking blocks and glass-lined walls.
- The city under the dunes: the thought experiment: could people live well, and ride out anything, underground?
- The aquifer twin: an open model of the freshwater lens. The first real build.
- Digital twin layers: from private bench to bioregion.
- Sandworm Systems: being folded in and improved.
what the sand becomesWaste nothing, build everything
10 live · grows per stream
- Full-spectrum alchemy: the transformation tree, the loops, the zero-waste audit, and the orphans not yet housed.
- The wasteful age, and the one after it: why the pile exists, why it isn't a sin, and what actually ends it.
- Dig a tunnel, count the sand: the calculator: how much sand a bore gives, and what it becomes.
- What the sand could build for us: the hub: the good the dug sand could do for the community.
- Real island builds: bus stop, jetty, school hall, homes, Ballow Road clubhouse, ferry terminal.
- Cleaning the bay: oyster reefs that filter the water and shelter fish.
- Holding the coast: living shorelines, mangrove nurseries, dune care, storm repair.
- Better waves: shaped sand banks, tested first as models.
- Places to gather: yarn circles, market rings, festival grounds, celebrations of Country.
- Made for home: tiles, pavers, benches, privacy screens residents can make and mend.
lasting through anythingThe threats, and the watch

- The island's own smart tools: free, open tools that keep working with the cable cut.
- Prove it, don't just claim it: turn a claim into a small model and test it against shared data.
- A fuel gauge for the whole island: a dashboard for self-reliance, not a scoreboard.
