Located on a site less than 3% of The Spit, the project unlocks an unused piece of land between Sea World and the Gold Coast Fisherman’s Co-operative. It creates a new waterfront precinct accessible to locals and visitors alike. Since early 2014, ASF has been working with Queensland Government, City of Gold Coast, key stakeholders and the community, seeking their input and feedback about the Project.

The project will reinvigorate The Spit and attract an estimated 1.5 million additional tourists each year. It will grow the tourism market, meaning significant new tourists coming to the Gold Coast. Over 13,000 new jobs will be created during the construction and operation of the project.

This means thousands of jobs for the local community. With construction likely to occur after the Commonwealth Games, this means local jobs can be retained. Source by Gold Coast Integrated Resort.
