Paul Freebody has been given the final go-ahead to build Adventure Waters, a 7-hectare water park planned for Cairns.
The park originally received approval from the Cairns Regional Council in October 2009, but the Mulgrave Central Mill lodged an appeal against the project.
However, an agreement was reached on Monday between Paul Freebody and the Mulgrave Central Mill.
Construction on the first stage is now set to begin in July for a 2011 opening.
The second stage of construction will commence shortly after the park has opened to the public.
Once both stages are constructed, the park will feature an array of water rides, including:
- Lazy river
- Tornado 45
- Mammoth River slide
- Six-lane OctopusRACER
- Simulated surfing area
- TantrumALLEY
- BowlingALLEY
- Dual Twister slides
- Plummet Freefall and Turbo Tunnel slides
According to Cairns.com.au, the development will now go to the Cairns Regional Council for an operational works application.
