Southern Moreton Bay Islands Google Street View updates

Google Street View is coming to the Southern Moreton Bay Islands (SMBI’s). From Tuesday 28 January, Council has engaged a contractor to capture 360-degree imagery of roads, carparks, parks and boat ramps across the SMBI’s, specifically North Stradbroke, Coochiemudlo, Perulpa, Lamb, Macleay, Karragarra, and Russell Islands. 

What’s happening?

Over approximately eight weeks, a specially equipped vehicle will capture panoramic imagery across the SMBI's. This data will then be processed and uploaded to Google Street View, making it accessible to the public.

Why are we doing this? 

This project’s benefits are numerous: 

• Residents and visitors will be able to remotely explore roads, parks, and amenities, supporting better navigation and planning.
• People with mobility challenges will be able to use imagery to assess routes and plan accessible travel options before leaving home.
• The 360-degree imagery will assist Council in planning infrastructure, managing assets and identifying areas for improvement.

What to expect

During the recording phase, residents may notice a vehicle fitted with 360-degree cameras navigating the islands.

• North Stradbroke Island 
• Coochiemudlo Island 
• Macleay Island & Perulpa Island 
• Karragarra Island 
• Lamb Island 
• Russell Island

Your privacy is protected

Council will ensure all necessary measures are in place to safeguard and uphold your privacy throughout this process.

Safety and privacy will be prioritised by:

• Blurring all faces and vehicle registration plates.
• Delaying the publication of imagery to protect personal information.
