Brampton Island’s Tourism Dream in Ruins | Adelaide News
Description
An abandoned Queensland island resort, once a bustling tourist destination with a golf course and airstrip, is set to be reclaimed by the state after 15 years of inaction. The Land Court ruled that Brampton Enterprises, which bought the island in 2010 but shut it down just a year later, violated its lease by failing to develop or operate it for tourism. Now described as dilapidated and partially swallowed by the sea, the island stirs nostalgia for locals who remember its vibrant past — complete with live music and delicious food. While the company plans to appeal, the final decision rests with the government, serving as a sobering reminder that land ownership carries real responsibilities.
