Woorim accessible beach - Amenities upgrade

Concept image of Woorim Accessible Beach Amenities

We are upgrading the amenities at Lions Park also known as Bluey Piva Park. The current facilities will be demolished and a modern, accessible beach amenities building will be built in its place.

Project features and benefits

The new amenities building will offer improved services, accessibility and inclusivity. This is a key step in enhancing public amenities for our community. It will make beach visits more enjoyable and accessible for everyone.

Key features of the upgrade include:

  • a changing places facility designed for people with high support needs
  • storage for beach wheelchairs
  • showers and change rooms to accommodate all visitors.

The upgrade will meet Disability Discrimination Act standards and aims to improve accessibility. It will enable a seamless connection to the beach for people of all abilities.

The design will reflect the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Bribie Island. It will create a welcoming space for all. Sustainability will be a priority in the design to support long-term environmental responsibility.

Subject to weather and unforeseen circumstances, work will start in April 2025 after the Easter break.

Temporary public toilets, including an accessible option, will be available during the construction period. Beach wheelchairs can still be booked and collected from the Bribie Island Surf Club.
