$2.6 Billion Infinity Planet Resort with Theme Park Proposed for Queensland

Details

The Australian theme park landscape is bracing for its biggest shake-up in decades. Plans have been unveiled for Infinity Planet, a staggering $2.6 billion integrated entertainment city proposed for Elimbah, situated in the Moreton Bay region between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast.

Billed as Australia’s first true integrated entertainment destination, the 68-hectare site aims to combine a world-class theme park with massive-scale hospitality and cultural education, timed to capitalise on the lead-up to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

A New Major Player in Australian Attractions

While the Gold Coast has long held the crown for Australian theme parks, RHC City Pty Ltd, the developer behind the project, is looking to shift the gravity northward. The proposed theme park component is expected to feature a mix of big high-thrill attractions, including roller coasters and a landmark Ferris wheel, alongside immersive cultural zones.

The developer estimates that the theme park could welcome up to 1.2 million guests annually, positioning it as a major competitor to the likes of Warner Bros. Movie World and Dreamworld.

Beyond the Rides: The "Integrated City" Concept

Infinity Planet isn't just a theme park; it’s a master-planned tourism ecosystem. Key features of the $2.6 billion proposal include:

  • The Global Cultural Mall: A centerpiece featuring 50 national pavilions. This "world expo" style retail and cultural hub will allow visitors to experience authentic brands, food, and traditions from 50 different countries.
  • Massive Hotel Inventory: A five-building hotel complex is planned to sit atop a man-made three-story hill. The project aims to deliver 2,943 rooms across a range of 3, 4, and 5-star accommodations.
  • The 10,000-Seat City Hall: A massive indoor arena designed for international concerts, cultural festivals, and major events.
  • Tech & AI Hub: A dedicated business and technology park aimed at creating a "high-performance business ecosystem" alongside the leisure facilities.

The Roadmap to 2030

The developers have laid out an ambitious four-phase timeline for the project:

  • Phase 1 (October 2027): Opening of the first wave of international market halls and the City Hall.
  • Phase 2 (October 2028): Expansion of the cultural mall and completion of the internal "San Francisco" style tram system.
  • Phase 3 (October 2029): Full opening of the outdoor Theme Park and four themed hubs.
  • Phase 4 (February 2030): Grand opening of the hotel complex, beach areas, and waterfall attractions.

Why Moreton Bay?

The choice of Elimbah is strategic. Located right off the Bruce Highway, the site offers easy access for both Brisbane locals and Sunshine Coast tourists. The project has already triggered surrounding interest; recent reports indicate a Singaporean developer has acquired a nearby $318 million plot for a residential community that could house the estimated 5,000+ staff required to run the precinct.

Our Analysis: A Game Changer?

For Australian theme park goers, the prospect of a new, multi-billion dollar park is the "Holy Grail" of industry news. While many projects in the past have failed to move past the render stage, the detailed phasing and the alignment with the 2032 Olympics give Infinity Planet a sense of momentum rarely seen in local proposals.

If realised, Infinity Planet won't just be a new place to ride a coaster, it will be a destination that finally brings the "Mega-Resort" scale seen in Orlando or Dubai to Australian shores.
