Ahhh… A little piece of Dubai in our own backyard… A mall of faked country cultural experiences… Really not my cup of tea, but interested to know if anyone else is keen for this?

Somehow i knew something as tacky as this was proposed in Queensland without opening the article
Zero chance this actually happens.
All this in 4 years? I doubt it.
I can see this crashing and burning pretty crazy as I just don’t think australia has the population for something this ambitious numbers wise and it’ll be so bloody expensive to go to that it’ll price most of said population out of actually regularly going. This stinks of rich people thinking most people can afford crazy luxuries. It’s a little sad as I think it’ll be cool as hell but in this climate? Complete tone deaf
Can’t they put a theme park somewhere other than SE Queensland? They already have all the rest of the theme parks. Does Dreamworld, Movie World and the water parks have so much demand that there is room in the market for it?
Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s some developer corruption project.
This looks so corporate and boring.
Will it have affordable housing? Olympic venues perhaps? A Bruce Highway upgrade? Anything we need, at all? Sounds like an awesome idea! Put a titanic museum in it while you’re at it
Is there any demand at all for this??
That sounds lame as shit
about as real as my girlfriend
Australia does not do good theme parks
I thought all the reddit comments were too negative, but come on, only a single roller coaster? Fuck outta here!
did anyone ask for this? i see this being one of those “abandoned theme parks” you see people on youtube visit and explore
i can’t see anyone saying to their kids ” Hey kids we’re going to Infinity World!”
I heard they have the same financing as The Line. Definitely going to happen…
Maybe they could re-use the mono-rail from Sydney. I see parts of it around Sydney in random places (a garden in Northern Beaches for one!).
This reads as satire too
>With seating for 10,000 people, it’s bound to attract some of the biggest international acts. Basically, Taylor Swift will probably stop in Elimbah on her next Aussie tour.
I hope every Aussie has the same attitude towards it “Couldn’t give a fuck, mate”.
That article reads like an ad…
Looks like the kind of place that teenagers will film YouTube exploration videos in when it’s abandoned after 5 years.
Seriously though, why do the renders look so.. temu?
I just want an affordable house to live in… we still doing that?
Or is that to much of a revolutionary concept these days??
A multicultural bazar (never heard “mall” used within Australia) in a big dome is something I would go and see.
Letting Aussies try out foreign brands, sure, I can see that being an attraction with some longevity.
We’ll probably get the hotels, and nothing else though.
As if Taylor Swift would play to a 10k seat venue when she knows she’s capable of filling actual stadia.
Yeah nah, if Disney World cannot make the figures work no one can.
The global mall is a good but I will not pay to go into it – better off as a shopping centre/massive department store in a CBD.
I’m sure this won’t have any problems getting built. No other major events on the horizon in Brisbane occupying the trades workforce… right?
What a joke.. what about investing that money in our actual cultures, existing nature, protecting vulnerable biomes and making the richness of what we have here accessible and attractive in a responsible way? Probably not as good a story or too complex vs the money that can be made.
This is a scam to lure “partners” in and to make money by being a facilitator. This company’s experience is building a mall. They do not have the capacity to do this sort of project by themselves so they re looking to get some DA approval with some conceptual drawing and then seek funding. The group’s website claims all sorts of things that are not remotely substantiated and their Brisbane office is a coworking space/virtual office. Ask cairns how that massive casino project is coming along.
