Caloundra Lighthouses are a heritage-listed pair of lighthouses at 3 Canberra Terrace, near Arthur Street, Kings Beach, Caloundra, Sunshine Coast Region, Queensland, Australia. The first, known as the Old Caloundra Light, was designed by Francis Drummond Greville Stanley and built in 1896; the second, New Caloundra Light, was built in 1968. They were added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 5 February 2010.[1]
The Caloundra Head Lighthouses played an integral role in Queensland's system of coastal navigation aids from the 1890s to the 1970s and remain prominent landmarks from Moreton Bay and in the Caloundra district. From construction of the first lighthouse in 1896 through to the decommissioning of the second (1968) lighthouse in 1978 the lights on Caloundra Head guided mariners to the northern entrance to the North West Channel – the safest, most reliable and consequently the most used entry channel to the Port of Brisbane.
Despite no longer operating as lighthouses, community support for the conservation of both structures has ensured their survival, while the image of the 1896 lighthouse, Caloundra's oldest surviving structure, has endured as one of the most significant symbols of the town.[1]
In 1969 the Queensland Lands Department excised 30 acres (12.14 hectares) of Crown Land from the Caloundra Town Reserve for a botanical park of native flora. Landsborough Shire Council was appointed trustee for the area and the park was named in honour of the person primarily responsible for its preservation, former Shire Councillor, Ben Bennett.
It is a testament to the many valuable contributions that he made to the Caloundra community. The park is next to Caloundra High School and is useful for the students biology studies. It is close to the Girl Guide Hut and is used by Guides and Guide Brownies for natural history observation. Of course there are others – walkers, joggers, birdwatchers, picnicers and parties. It is a haven of peace, only seldom abused.
