Warraber Island Master Plan

Torres Strait Island Regional Council (TSIRC), with the support of the Department of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships (DATSIP), has developed the Warraber Island Master Plan. The Warraber Island Master Plan is intended to be used by TSIRC, Prescribed Body Corporates (PBCs), State agencies, service providers and the broader community to inform planning decisions in relation to future development.

The Warraber Island Master Plan seeks to guide the future use of land on Warraber Island in a manner that is cognisant of community needs, demands and aspirations. The Warraber Island Master Plan identifies a range of future residential; industrial; commercial / tourism; community facilities; and recreation and open space development projects. The Master Plan has been prepared to ensure the orderly, efficient and effective use of land in a way that is reflective of relevant opportunities and constraints. The Master Plan seeks to coordinate the actions of a range of different stakeholders to maximise the benefits of new development projects to the community.

The Warraber Island Master Plan is a living document endorsed by TSIRC, intended to be progressively updated as new development occurs to reflect the changing needs and aspirations of the community.
