Minjerribah recreation area

The Minjerribah Recreation Area has been declared on North Stradbroke Island and covers holiday parks, camping areas and beaches that allow four-wheel driving.

This area has historically been managed by Redland City Council. Council is making way for a new management framework for these areas, in an effort to assist economic development opportunities for the Quandamooka People.

The Minjerribah Recreation Area is managed under the Recreation Areas Management Act 2006, and underpins the future transition into a new management framework for holiday parks and beach camping and driving areas on the island.

The Minjerribah Recreation Area covers the following sites:

• the holiday parks at Adams Beach, Bradbury’s Beach, Amity Point, Adder Rock, Thankful Rest and Cylinder Beach
• the beach camping areas at Main Beach and Flinders Beach
• the areas of Main and Flinders beaches that require a beach driving permit.

Refer to the map of the Minjerribah Recreation Area (PDF, 428K)*.

Under the recreation area framework, the previous arrangements for managing camping, beach driving and commercial activities will continue—including all permits and fees. There will be no new or additional fees resulting from the declaration of the recreation area.

Visitors can still bring their dogs to Main Beach and Flinders Beach, and camping and four-wheel driving on these beaches will also continue unchanged, although permits are still needed.

Redland City Council continues to manage the area. For all camping and vehicle access permit bookings and enquiries, phone 1300 551 253 or visit www.more2redlands.com.au.
