Dive Attractions

This consultation has concluded. Information about the consultation, forum comments and related documents are retained for your reference.

The Gold Coast boasts all the hallmarks of a coastal playground, including pristine waters and abundant sea life. Gold Coast City Council is investigating whether it can capitalise on these features to become a world-class dive destination.

Although the Gold Coast is home to an established dive industry, it attracts only a small share of the lucrative dive market enjoyed by other Queensland and Australian destinations.

Council has identified potential sites off Main Beach and Kirra as suitable for dive attractions. Council conducted community consultation between 25 February 2013 - 29 March 2013.

The Gold Coast community had their say by reading the information supplied, completing a survey, contributing to the discussion forum or attending an information session.
