Traditional owners fighting against the construction of a controversial whale centre on Stradbroke Island plan to be arrested as part of a last-ditch attempt to stop the project starting this week.
Dozens of people have pitched tents at the Point Lookout site in protest of the development which has divided the island community.

The project is being led by the Quandamooka Yoolooburrabee Aboriginal Corporation, which says the centre will be a "landmark tourism attraction" for the island.
