Hervey Bay - Swimming Lagoon or Safe swimming enclosure

Comments

#203

I am a home owner and resident of Hervey Bay and believe due to the tidal nature of The Bay, a swimming lagoon would be an excellent addition for tourists and permanent residents. A great attraction and activitie for all ages. Not just small children.

I have a disability and although sometimes not visible, this lagoon would be great as it would be not far to walk, easy access, and a more calm environment

I live in the area and it would look beautiful

It would be an amazing asset to Hervey bay

The huge variance of the water due to the tides, gives a definite need for an enclosed area like Townsville & other Qld coastal cities have. Added to that, the difficulty for those with special needs to access our beautiful salt water, makes it an easy decision to provide something. Then there is the issue of providing safety from sharks. It really is a "no brainer" .

Love the proposal for a beautiful lagoon style swimming enclosure to enhance the already beautiful Bay. Airline Beach and Cairns are good examples.

I am signing this petition because I think it is a great idea for those who wish to go swimming at the beautiful beaches but can't few to disabilities

To help my cousin who lives there.

I think it is an amazing idea for everyone especially for for the people with a disability. They have a hard life as it is and I’m sure this is something that they would love and get a lot of benefit from being able to move in

It’s a great idea

I think this would be great for the area. You need to spend money to make money and this idea will add to Hervey Bay and help put this place in the map.
Yes it’s a amazing place already but let’s not stop. This will be money well spent in so many ways

Colin Sullivan (Pialba, 2022-04-24)

It would be great for our community and kids

Sandro Stewart (Scarness, 2022-04-24)

We need a lagoon that is free to the public and accessible for all and not just on the school holidays. We can’t keep relying on whale season to bring in tourists when whale season lasts less than 6 months. We need tourists because with tourists we get jobs. Please use common sense.

Nicole Rudd (4655, 2022-04-24)

This would make a great tourist attraction, great for families and bigger kids , and accessible for disabled people. Great idea

Tammie Klein (Point Vernon, 2022-04-24)

Hervey Bay is a tourist destination and needs this for families and people with disabilities. Will be safe from all things in the ocean.

Michelle Smith (Hervey Bay, 2022-04-24)

I'm signing because I moved to Hervey Bay in 2017 & rarely I will go for a swim in the pools, because of the chlorine. I've been a lifesaver in my past & LOVE swimming in the ocean, have always used ocean pools. You can swim in them anytime of the day & feel safe. I would love to see one built here. Thank you

Colleen Willner (Hervey Bay, 2022-04-24)

I’m signing because I’ve seen areas further north with enclosures for safety from stingers and sharks and I believe this would be a benefit to all. It would be safe for those with mobility issues,children and seniors. It would draw visitors and could add variety to the beautiful areas we already have.

Ann Wharton (Hervey Bay, 2022-04-24)

#288

Think it would great for kids

Booth Nikki (Urangan, 2022-04-24)

#291

This would be another nice tourist attraction for the Bay

Christine Gibson (Toogoom, 2022-04-24)

#292

I think it would be a great opportunity to use our beach more freely without knowing there is sharks etc swimming around(feel safe) it would bring more tourist to our town also.

Peta Steer (Nikenbah, 2022-04-24)

#295

i think it would be an amazing place to have a swim with the kids in a safe area. and even more of a reason for people to move and or visit hervey bay

Jacob Woods (Gympie, 2022-04-25)

I believe it will be a great addition to our beautiful foreshore. Also to have access to those with disabilities that cannot enjoy our beaches can enjoy the facilities which definitely be a attraction for them to enjoy.

James Muh (Booral, 2022-04-25)

I strongly agree we need a safe swimming area, to many natives in the water.

Jamie Riordan (Urraween, 2022-04-25)

I had a stroke and I like to swim

Andrew Spicer (Hervey Bay, 2022-04-25)

Would be accessible for all

Sue Muller (Wondunna, 2022-04-25)

I agree the swimming enclosure would benefit tourism & those with a disability in Hervey Bay

Janis McKinlay (Burrum Heads, 2022-04-25)

#317

It’s ridiculous that we don’t have a lagoon

Michael Daniel (Hervey bay, 2022-04-25)

#318

I work in the disability industry and if there is a safe way for my clients to get some freedom of movement it would be great.

Steve Parnell (Eli Waters, 2022-04-25)

#324

I'm signing because this is a great idea for locals and tourists alike. I think the lagoon would be best option.

Tabitha Douglas (Maryborough, 2022-04-25)

I am starting an NDIS Business in Hervey Bay and believe this would be a great idea

Derek Baxter (Point Vernon, 2022-04-25)

We spent two years in Mackay and one thing that Hervey Bay genuinely does not measure up to is the swimming facilities.
The pool here is dated and not user friendly. Take a look at other regional facilities and go one better.

Bethany Fairfull (Wondunna, 2022-04-25)

#334

I agree to this lagoon it would be so much more fun for all

Katie Yalouris (Hervey bay, 2022-04-25)

I love Hervey Bay and we holiday there twice a year this would be so fantastic

Julia Greig (Springwood, 2022-04-25)

#351

I think it’s a great idea and I’m sure will be well utilised by locals and tourists.

Romayne Boniface (Hervey Bay, 2022-04-25)

My son has autism and I have two other babies and a safe swim would be great I’d rather that then swim at the beaches

Karlee Burns (Hervey bay, 2022-04-25)

#355

I truly believe this is positively needed for all age groups, disabled, elderly and youth. A shark attack is just waiting to happen on the Esplanade beaches. If not, another aquatic centre out Dundowran Beach way.

Bev Hosking (Dundowran Beach, 2022-04-25)

#361

The Bay needs it. When the tide goes out the beach is NO fun. Would be an asset for locals & tourists

Janelle Jones (Hervey Bay, 2022-04-26)

#364

We definitely needs this in Hervey Bay especially for the elderly and for the people with disabilities.

Atlantis DellAcqua (Hervey Bay, 2022-04-26)

I would love to have that swimming lagoon and safe swimming spot for the kids yay bring on the Hervey bay lagoon 🥰💦🤍

Rachael Hughes (Pialba, 2022-04-26)

#369

It is a brilliant idea and will bring more people & visitors (more business) to this great place.

Stuart Iudice (Herveybay, 2022-04-26)

#372

Would be such an asset to our commumity. Especially for young teenagers, who are a bit old for parks

Rebecca Holahan (Urraween, 2022-04-26)

#375

I think it would be a fantastic infrastructure project that would further compliment tourist activities and draw cards and further provide affordable activities for local families.

Evan Fulton (Hervey Bay, 2022-04-26)

#377

I agree that the bay should have a safe swimming lagoon for all families

Kylie Botheras (BAUPLE FOREST, 2022-04-26)

#379

I would love to see this happen for safe swimming and hopefully this will attract more tourism.

Julie Cairns (Dundowran Beach, 2022-04-26)

#381

Everywhere there is a beach should be a lagoon. Not only is it safer for younger kids but it’s also perfect for people with any sort of disability. Also for the elderly. Remember they all want to feel and swim in the ocean also.

Chris Barry (Brisbane, 2022-04-26)

#382

I think it’s a great idea!

Scott Garrett (Urangan, 2022-04-26)

#383

Our beaches are beautifully calm however twice this past year my nieces and nephews have seen a small shark, no bigger than a meter, come close up to the foreshore. This lagoon would provide safety for families.

Tanya Stevenson (Wondunna, 2022-04-26)

#386

Hervey Bay absolutely need one of these!

Janita Trappett (Hervey Bay, 2022-04-26)

#390

I agree with Hervey Bay getting a lagoon it’s good for tourists and locals. I would personally go swimming more often
