History of Yeppoon Lagoon
Opened in May 2017 as the centrepiece of the Yeppoon Foreshore Revitalisation Project, a joint initiative of Livingstone Shire Council and the Queensland Government. The approximately $27 million precinct redevelopment transformed the foreshore into a major tourism and community recreation hub for the Capricorn Coast.
Culture & Context
Located on Darumbal Country, the traditional lands of the Darumbal people. The lagoon serves as a central community gathering and recreation space for residents and visitors and is a key tourism asset for the Capricorn Coast, symbolising the region's coastal lifestyle and connection to the Keppel Islands.
