The foundations for the new café are now firmly in place
The second phase of the Sandilands transformation is now underway, bringing us closer to a welcoming space where visitors can pause, connect, and enjoy the coast.
Groundworks for the new visitor café have been completed, with the concrete foundations now in place — a key milestone in the journey to create a vibrant hub at the heart of the reserve. Over the coming weeks, the timber frame will begin to rise, shaping the structure that will soon offer refreshments, shelter, and stunning views across the wild landscape.
This next chapter builds on the success of phase one, where the newly created wetlands are already supporting wildlife and drawing in visitors. With nature flourishing and construction progressing, Sandilands is fast becoming a place where people and wildlife thrive side by side.
