STRADBROKE ISLAND MANAGEMENT ORGANISATIONSIMO (Stradbroke Island Management Organisation) was formed in 1978 by island residents and visitors to stop a proposed bridge from the mainland. Since then SIMO has been active in fighting to maintain the island's special qualities and low-key way of life. Its members share environmental concern for the sustainable management of the Island's diverse and scientifically significant flora and fauna, as well as for the Island’s resources such as minerals and water. SIMO currently monitors sandmining on the Island, and water extraction from it, with reference to various pieces of Government legislation.
SIMO takes special interest in Blue Lake National Park which has Aboriginal cultural significance and surrounds Blue Lake - an excellent example of a true window lake, that is possibly the deepest window lake in Queensland at approximately 11.4m deep. The sand track walk into Blue Lake National Park is through tall gums and has elevated views of Blue Lake, and sometimes fauna tracks of wallaby, goanna or koala, nearby on the sand.
SIMO’s AGM is in August, at the Pt Lookout Hall, and visitors are welcome. SIMO's postal address is c/o PO Pt Lookout 4183. Email address is
