Sandgate had become a popular seaside resort in the late nineteenth century, and between then and the mid-twentieth century public facilities including kiosks, piers, jetties, a lovers’ walk, bathing facilities and entertainment venues were added to the area. Surviving features of this era include the Sandgate pier (built 1882), Baxter’s Jetty (1880s; replaced 1923) and porphyry sea walls, part of which is a groyne built near the jetty to create a shark-proof enclosure. The pier is a rare surviving intact example of a seaside pier, the only large timber pier in the greater Brisbane area. The natural and built features of the foreshore enhance the setting of many substantial residences in the area, and the parkland affords extensive view of Bramble Bay. The Bramble Bay Foreshores comprise continuous publicly accessible parklands stretching for more than seven kilometres along the foreshores of Bramble Bay, featuring the Sandgate pier and swimming pool, Cabbage Tree Head, Baxter’s Jetty, the groyne and Lover’s Walk.

  • Samantha Paredes Thesis
    THE VALUE OF FISHERIES FOR TOURISM AND THE LOCAL COASTAL COMMUNITY Samantha Jane Paredes BBus (Econ) with Distinction/ LLB Master of Business (Research) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Economics and Finance QUT Business School Queensland University of Technology 2020 Keywords Choice Modelling; Coastal; Consumer surplus; Contingent Behaviour Travel Cost Model; Discourse Analysis; Local; Local Fisheries; Resident; Multinomial Logit Model; Mixed Multinomial Logit Model; Tourists; Travel Cost; Willingness to Pay. The value of fisheries for tourism and the local coastal community i Abstract The overarching objective of this thesis is to identify the additional economic benefits that are generated by the fishing industry with respect to tourism and provision of local seafood, estimate their size and how their values might be maximised. To fulfil this objective, four main studies were undertaken. The first two studies examine the value of fisheries and seafood with respect to tourism. First, an analysis of discourses of fisheries and seafood in place-based tourism in Queensland was undertaken. The three main themes which emerged from the data were: ‘Emphasising the local’, ‘Seafood as a symbol of luxury’ and ‘Linking fisheries and seafood to heritage’. In terms of promoting tourism, the results suggest that greater emphasis is placed on promoting local seafood than the fishing industry itself. The second study of the thesis examines the economic value of fisheries and seafood to coastal tourism for Mooloolaba, Queensland. Using a contingent behaviour travel cost model, the study finds that the benefits of visiting Mooloolaba would be significantly lower, on average, if there was no seafood or fishing industry in the area.
