A Rainforest Landmark for Brisbane 2032 — Concept Proposal
Attached is a concept vision for a family-focused rainforest landmark precinct at Mt Coot-tha. It includes:
- A Moreton Bay Fig pavilion café drawing on South American jungle-lodge architecture
- Cantilevered sky platforms with glass floors and telescope stations
- A Jumanji-themed adventure trail designed for children aged 4–12
- A bioluminescent glowworm grotto and reflection pool
- An 8–12 metre elevated tropical canopy walk
- Three tiered natural rainforest pools fed by a sandstone waterfall
- A cantilevered eco-resort villa as a civic landmark and event venue
This isn't a theme park. It's an infrastructure proposition that delivers across three of the government's priorities at once: tourism diversification, the 2032 legacy mandate, and family-focused liveability — the kind of investment that supports the Next Generation Economy agenda.
The economic case writes itself. Gardens by the Bay generates over S$200 million in annual visitor spend. The Eden Project in Cornwall returned £2.2 billion to its regional economy in its first two decades. A Queensland equivalent — built with native species, Aboriginal cultural partnership, and local craftspeople — would be a flagship asset for international tourism well beyond 2032.
I would welcome conversation with anyone in state development, tourism, infrastructure, or the 2032 delivery teams who sees what I see here.
Queensland doesn't need to copy Singapore. We need to outbuild them — with the landscape we already have.
