Currumbin valley
Currumbin Valley’s character and integrity are special
As part of the project planning, Landmatters presented a genuine Community Consultation process inviting Currumbin Valley residents and other interested groups and parties to identify issues of relevance to the existing community, determine future needs of the Valley and address matters of concern. Around 450 residents and interested people attended public meetings and small workshops, viewed the displayed concepts and met with team members – in other words, they were involved in having a say.
The Valley
Currumbin community identifies strongly with its beautiful environs. Social interaction includes activities around resident groups, environmental groups, local schools, rural fire brigades and an assortment of clubs. So whether it’s the annual “Spring Fair’, a local kid’s sports tournament, dragon-boat racing, surf life saving regatta, the annual SWELL Sculpture Festival on the beach or the “World Environment Day” event in a nearby park, it’s likely there’ll be something in the Currumbin locale to fulfill your interest.
Some of the facilities within the valley include recreational swimming holes and waterfalls located in world heritage listed national parks, cafes and specialty shops, amazing beautiful Estuarine beaches and lagoons, Currumbin Valley State School, Camp Eden Health Retreat and National Park walking tracks. There’s virtually something for every age and budget.
Beautiful walks and places to stay abound. The Currumbin Valley truly offers a piece of wilderness with the very best of nature's special treats.
local groups
Having such a rich and beautiful place to protect and enhance, Currumbin is full of identities and awareness groups. GECKO (The Gold Coast and Hinterland Environment Council) has its headquarters at Currumbin Beach. Friends of Currumbin and SWELL Sculpture Festival are also actively working for environmental, cultural and arts representation for the area.
