Based in Australia’s tourism capital for +40 years, our Planning & Environment team on the Gold Coast brings deep expertise in working with proponents and all levels of government – local, State and Commonwealth – to navigate assessment, tenure and approval requirements, including under coordinated project and accredited assessment regimes. We have guided SEQ tourism development projects across diverse sectors, including sport and recreation facilities and events, hinterland trails, cableways, marine and dive precincts, eco-cabins, and major tourist attraction, transport and accommodation projects.
