Thank you to everyone who engaged with the consultation and gave feedback on other ideas. We received 804 contributions through likes, comments and great ideas.

Double Island is located between Cairns and Port Douglas within the Great Barrier Reef marine park. Surrounded by crystal-clear waters and reefs, the 18-hectare island was once an exclusive resort.

The island is now under the management of the Queensland Government. Work is underway to make the island safe and ready for revitalisation.

While we do that, we want to hear from you.

Share your great ideas for the future use of Double Island to support a sustainable and thriving regional tourism economy.
