would be rehabilitated. It would cost tens of millions of dollars and take five to six years. The Quandamooka Yoolooburrabee Aboriginal Corporation would move from its role in land care and cultural heritage advice into being responsible for the later stages of rehabilitation and developing the island as a cultural and wildlife sanctuary. Community fund In 2011, Sibelco announced the formation of a new community fund, funded from the profits of sand mining – the Belgian family-owned mining company has made profits of approximately $1.5Billion dollars from its sand mining lease on Stradbroke Island. According to the fund, it "is the largest community investment ever made in the history of the Bay Islands". The fund is administered by an Advisory Board, constituted by two members from each of the island's townships and an executive chairperson. However, no Quandamooka people, who had their native title claim recognised in July 2011, after a 16-year proceeding, are members of the board of this community fund. As at October 2017, there is no reference to the community fund on the Sibelco website. Arts, culture and tourism Arts such as fibre art and basketry and weaving techniques are being taught in workshops by a New Zealand-born artist living on the island, and Quandamooka Yoolooburrabee Aboriginal Corporation chief executive Cameron Costello is working to expand the tourism industry based on arts and culture, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous. The Quandamooka Festival was part of this, and the Quandamooka Arts Museum and Performance Institute is due to be completed in mid-2021.
