This 8.117-hectare Greenfield site presents a rare opportunity to deliver a Stage 1-approved caravan park positioned at the gateway to the Whitsundays, between Mackay and Airlie Beach - two of Queensland's leading tourism destinations.
Located just 1.2 km from Country Fest QLD, a major annual event attracting over 6,000 visitors with camping sold out year after year, the site was designed to support future large-scale tourism and event-driven accommodation demand, providing a quality, purpose-built destination for travellers and festival-goers alike. With organisers indicating plans to expand the event calendar in 2026, the surrounding area is poised for continued growth in visitor numbers.
Fronting the Bruce Highway with direct access via Midge Point Road, the property benefits from steady exposure to approximately 4,000 vehicles per day, providing strong visibility to passing holiday traffic travelling between Mackay and Airlie Beach. This consistent flow of tourists and travellers positions the site as a natural stopover point in one of Queensland's busiest coastal travel routes - the Whitsundays region, which continues to record exceptional growth, including $254 million in international visitor spend.
The Development Approval (DA-2023-46/A) covers Stage 1 of a master-planned 200-site tourist park, incorporating caravan and camping sites, landscaped buffers, modern amenities, and caretaker accommodation. Approval has been formally endorsed by Mackay Regional Council and the State Assessment Referral Agency (SARA, Oct 2025).
Key Features:
Land Area: 8.117 ha flat, cleared, development-ready
