AAT continues to work with Queensland State Government through the detailed assessment phase of the Exclusive Transaction Process which includes meeting the statutory requirements to determine a tenure pathway for the Project.

 

The Whitsunday Skyway Project (Project) is a mainland based, greenfield tourism project proposed for the Whitsundays, located in the town of Airlie Beach.

Australian Adventure Tourism Group (NSX: AAT), as the Project Proponent, has progressed the Project to the Detailed Assessment phase of the Exclusive Transaction Process through the Queensland State Government and is now seeking to engage with external parties who can fund the subsequent phases of the Project to completion. The Directors of AAT are open to entering into appropriate commercial arrangements with a suitable party with the specialist capabilities to build, own and operate the Skyway tourism infrastructure asset and related businesses.  

The Project offers the experience of a one kilometre cable car ride to the summit of the Conway National Park, 430m above the town of Airlie Beach. The scenic outlook will provide visitors with an outstanding 360 degree view of the Whitsunday Islands, Coral Sea & the Conway National Park. The Project includes world class mountain bike trails, thrilling luge cart tracks, food and beverages, Indigenous interpretive and educational experiences and adventure activities for juniors.

The Project received an election commitment from the Queensland State Government, announced by the Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, at the last election. Reflecting the Government’s commitment to the Project, the State Government has made a $1 million matched funding for land compensation costs, should the Whitsunday Skyway Project be approved.

The Project is enthusiastically supported by the local Whitsunday Shire Council and local tourism bodies. It is consistent with the vision of the region's major tourism, community and educational organisations. The Project is also strategically aligned with the economic development plans for the region, as outlined by Tourism Whitsunday, the Queensland Tourism Industry Council and the Queensland Government (Department of Tourism and Innovation), in conjunction with Federal Counterparts.
