Mission Statement

“The Great Keppel Island Revitalisation Plan aims to deliver the most environmentally sustainable eco-tourism resort ever envisaged in Australia and will seek to have a positive impact on the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area”.

The Great Keppel Island (GKI) Revitalisation Plan Project Team has listened carefully to Minister Garrett, the community and a range of environmental experts and is now proud to have developed the new GKI Revitalisation Plan.

Vision

The vision for the GKI Revitalisation Plan is to create much more than an ordinary tourist destination. GKI Revitalisation Plan aims to make GKI the ‘greenest’ and most talked about environmentally responsible destination in the country and a leader in global environmental tourism. We want all visitors to GKI to see what is possible, to live what is possible and to take our ideas and practices home with them.

The aim of GKI Revitalisation Plan is to transform an old sheep farm and dilapidated resort into a sustainable eco-tourism resort. Every aspect of environmental sustainability has been taken into account in preparing the GKI Revitalisation Plan. The project team will seek to work with government authorities, conservation groups and community members to ensure that the final design meets their expectations and protects the values of the world heritage area.
