I think this is a great idea

A lagoon by the beach at Hervey Bay would be a tremendous tourist spot along with our wonderful beaches, Piers, shops and great restaurant. It would give each and everyone of us a safe place to swim and not have to worry about the sharks that are noticed regularly. It would also be a wonderful place for any wheel chair bound people and others with disabilities to enjoy a safe swimming area.

This would be great for the community

I’m signing because as fantastic as our beaches are they aren’t usable for hours each day due to the large tides. It’s also a great tourist draw card

Being a tourist destination this should be an option years ago especially with our warmth up here. Something like Redcliffe with bbqs, lighting for night swims, family outings. Be amazing

We pay more than enough to live in the Beautiful Hervey Bay and would like council to listen to the residents wants and needs. A man made lagoon like this would benefit our community and the tourists.

This would be a great boost for tourism and especially for locals. I often want to swim at the beach and most of the time it's to shallow, so a permanent pool would be great

A lagoon would be great as there is very limited things to do with children

Great initiative for those that are scared of the ocean and with disabilities. Safe salt water swim area.

I lived at Redcliffe & they have a lagoon, it was always well used. The Bay needs one as well.

I have a 21 year old son with high care disability needs and this would allow him to participate and enjoy the things that others in the community take for granted with access. It would also be a massive drawcard for Hervey Bay tourism. Has my full support although I am a 50 min drive away we visit Hervey Bay regularly.

I think this would be a great addition to the town and people

Dale Mackay (Hervey bay, 2022-04-23)

After visiting other places with these facilities I feel it would benefit Hervey Bay economically and would be a great addition to the splash park.

We need a swimming lagoon in Torquay like Cairns and the new one at Yeppoon. Well overdue in our are

It would be amazing addition to the bay. Waterpark is great but cant swim.

Belinda Cornish (Hervey bay, 2022-04-23)

A safe environment for accessing the water would open up opportunity for many that can't currently get in the water....

Debra Glazewski (Urraween, 2022-04-23)

I think this would be great for the area.

Jasmin Sullivan (Victoria, 2022-04-23)

It would be a good asset for people with young kids and also people who are not always looking to swim in the ocean

Jade Sullivan (Hervey Bay, 2022-04-23)

#94

Because it’s needed for the town would be a great family getaway as I have a small family myself and sometimes the beach is too much

Jesse Gotz (Pialba, 2022-04-23)

I think it is a great idea and very much needed in Hervey Bay.have been to the Redcliffe one on several occasions and love it

Carmen Casey (Urangan, 2022-04-23)

As a long time resident I believe this would be a wonderful addition to Hervey Bay and accessible to everyone no matter their age and whether able bodied or not. It wouldn't detract from the wonderful beaches we have but compliment them. Giving everyone another choose. As grandparents I would be happier using this for our grandchildren than the ocean. I can imagine many would head their for the day sharing a barbecue.

I have a disability and would benefit from a pool enclosure type of thing - like that at south bank- Brisbane. Having a disability I am unsteady when walking on sand so therefore would benefit from having something more accessible

When I travel north most of the beach side towns have the gorgeous swimming lagoons along the foreshore and have often wondered why Hervey Bay hasn't done this already.

Jenni Hopping (Howard, 2022-04-23)

#115

I love to see a shark free enclosure for swimming on the beach or a seawater swimming lagoon on the foreshore for people to swim safely , after seeing sharks in close to the shore I won’t swim in the beach anymore.

Cathy Hart (Urraween, 2022-04-23)

Who is going to fund this? How much will it cost to maintain and service the lagoon?
As a rate payer I do NOT want a lagoon paid for by my rates.

Kevin Rates (Hervey Bay, 2022-04-23)

It would be a great addition to the area

Pete Thawley (Wondunna, 2022-04-23)

Carissa Hall (Hervey bay, 2022-04-23)

#126

My kids enjoyed the water park when they were young but I always wished there was somewhere I could just paddle in the water.. now my kids are teens the water park doesn't interest them at all

Hervey Bay needs this entertainment for families. Safer alternative to beaches.

Karen Chard (Coral Cove, 2022-04-23)

A Lagoon would provide pool and beach swimming access to people of all abilities

Chellby Ikin (Scarness, 2022-04-23)

I am signing this petition because I think this would be a great addition to the expansion of Hervey Bay and would provide a water park more accomodating for families.

Jordan Vines (Craignish, 2022-04-23)

Beaches aren’t safe, also for those with thalassaphobia who are terrified of the ocean but love to swim.

Reneé Brouard (Hervey Bay, 2022-04-23)

I would love this for our town and to take our children to so they can safely swim and play we would all absolutely love it and I think it's a great idea!

Emma McMaster (Point Vernon, 2022-04-23)

Hell YES but spacious for everyone, because it will b packed in the seasons

Michelle Foster (Aldershot, 2022-04-23)

We have recently moved to the area & have 2x young girls 3 & nearly 5 who love to swim & the beach but us all as a family would much prefer to be safe.

It would be great to have a safe and clean area for swimming and recreation. Also would attract tourists.

I’d love an area to be able to safely take my grandchildren when they visit. I’d also love somewhere for hubby and. Me to cool off too.

Hervey Bay would benefit having a lagoon. Although we have a beach, the beach isn't always a safe place.
Having a lagoon has do much potential and another thing to bring in tourists to the area.

Hannah Krueger (Hervey Bay, 2022-04-23)

#168

This would be awesome

Corey Matchan (Dundowran Beach, 2022-04-23)

An enclosed safe swimming lagoon would draw in all abilities including those that love the beach but afraid to go in due to not knowing what could be lurking in the waters.

Sharon Hay (Sunshine Acres, 2022-04-23)

I live in HB and we need a safe swimming spot on the esplanade. It’s a must for our locals as well as our transient community.

Lisa Bessell (Urangan, 2022-04-23)

#180

Because I think the Esplanade is a waited space due to the location of the caravan parks. it should be developed as an open space with such things as a peoples pool and general recreation.

Ross Cotton (Scarness, 2022-04-23)

#183

Great idea to support local small business as it would attract many more tourists to the Bay !

Kate Parfrement (Point Vernon, 2022-04-23)

#185

Having swum in many at other cities I think it would be a great addition to Hervey Bay.

Amanda Jones (Scarness, 2022-04-23)

#187

Totally agree for people with accessibility difficulties and would add to your already beautiful bay

Jill Mcfelin (Dunedin, 2022-04-23)

Great for our town and bring more tourist attraction

Thanyaphorn Hilton (Pialba, 2022-04-23)

I would regularly use a lagoon for swimming. I regularly visit Yeppoon and swim every day in their lagoon.

Helen Schmidt (Point Vernon, 2022-04-23)

#193

it's about time council started doing things the community wants, instead of pushing their own plans and agendas

Clyde Marais (Hervey Bay, 2022-04-23)
