Gold Coast International Marine Precinct
Harbour Island Pty Ltd (the proponent) proposes to construct a new integrated marine industry facility on 64 hectares (ha) of land adjacent to the existing Gold Coast marine precinct at Shipper Drive, Coomera.
The marine industry, including the proponent's partner Maritimo Pty Ltd, is forecasting strong growth to meet domestic and export demand. The proposed development is predicted to generate $250 million of annual export income and employ approximately 2,500 full time, part time and casual positions at full operational stage.
The proposal comprises:
- over 25 ha of industrial use, including 5 ha for Maritimo Pty Ltd’s consolidated/expanded facility
- land for a marine industry TAFE/Centre of Excellence
- 390 berth marina (280 external and 110 internal) including a ship lift facility
- 290 berth dry stack storage facility
- a mixed use precinct (office, light industry and service/recreational).
The Gold Coast International Marine Precinct is a development investment that is required to meet both current and anticipated demand pressures.
The project involves the significant expenditure of time, financial and human resources ensuring that the best viable outcome from an ecological, social and economic standpoint is achieved for the long term.
The focus of the new design is a world class marine industry facility.
The new design delivers a much needed marina at a strategic locational hub in one of Australia’s fastest growing areas.
