The City of Swan listened to your feedback and ideas on the concept plan for a new lookout, to be built on the former site of the derelict Brigadoon sales office.

The proposed design includes a new and improved viewing platform, space for a food and beverage van, landscaping and parking. As part of the City’s work on the Bells Rapids Masterplan, the City will consider trail connections to Bells Lookout.

The State Government has provided over $800,000 to the project.



The City undertook community engagement and made modifications to the concept design based on community feedback. The scope of works will be designed to be within the grant allocation.

The old sales office building, which was unable to be repurposed for community use, was demolished.

  • Added additional parking bays within the site
