Queensland’s first permanent light show was launched on K’gari in October, transforming the island’s western shores into an

immersive after-dark experience, celebrating its intricate ecosystem.

Illumina combines cutting-edge lighting and sound to illuminate K’gari’s natural beauty, taking visitors on a journey through light, colour, and sound, exploring the island’s unique landscapes, flora, and fauna as night falls.

No two performances are the same, as the intricacies of each evening’s show are influenced by the island’s ever-changing weather conditions, making every Illumina experience unique.

Environmental sustainability was a priority in the construction of the show, ensuring its development aligned with K’gari’s ecological values:

Energy-efficient LED lighting powers the entire installation, minimising electrical consumption.

Hand-mixed concrete was used on-site, avoiding the environmental footprint associated with commercial batching plants and machinery. Concrete was transported using wheelbarrows, eliminating the need for diesel-powered trucks or pumps.

Structures were lifted by hand, negating the need for heavy cranes and further reducing diesel emissions.

Locally sourced ironbark timber, milled in South East Queensland, was selected for the platform, cutting down the environmental impact of long-distance transport.
