Nestled on the Redcliffe foreshore, Suttons Beach Park is a favourite for locals and visitors alike.
The Suttons Beach Pavilion Redevelopment project aims to revitalise the park with a new public pavilion and upgraded park area.
In November 2023, we engaged City Lab to lead an architectural design competition.
A jury of five architecture and design experts selected Lahznimmo Architects with Plummer & Smith’s design proposal as the winning design.
The design presents a multi-purpose building and a refreshed park area. It is welcoming, relaxed and accessible and will bring new life to this much-loved seaside precinct.
Key features of the design proposal
- Three hospitality spaces.
- Enhanced public amenities including accessible toilets, accessible showers and a Changing Places facility.
- Ample indoor dining and outdoor seating options.
- Rooftop space featuring one of the hospitality spaces, a public deck, and an event space.
- Improved accessibility throughout the car park, pavilion and surrounding park.
- A circular seating and potential events space that is open and accessible.
- Lift and stairs between both levels.
- Versatile landscape for everyday activities and events.
- Design features that cater to the sub-tropical climate and weather conditions.
- Native plant species in the surrounding landscape.

Project update
Demolition works are now completed. Until construction commences, we have installed temporary access and interim landscaping.
The design development phase of the project started in mid-2024. During this phase, we will work with the architects to refine the design including:
- the structural design of the building
- civil works such as retaining walls
- stormwater considerations
- building services
- final materials
- colour scheme.
City of Moreton Bay lodged the Development Application for the project in December 2024. For more information view the DA Tracker.
