In 2012 council developed and adopted the Bonny Hills Reserves Master Plan to provide a clear, long term strategic vision for council and community groups to deliver.

The Master Plan, which includes Rainbow Beach, the Community Hall and Bartlett's Beach Reserves, was developed in collaboration with Bonny Hills Progress Association and involved comprehensive community engagement to ensure that the community's vision for these spaces were understood and captured as key actions.

Council is now embarking on a variety of wide-ranging community engagement activities to ensure all members of the community have the opportunity to have their say and provide feedback on the creation of the plan.

Council wants to hear when, how and why community members utilise these reserve areas, and what the future of these areas looks like.
