Our vision, to become Australia’s leading integrated resort company is underpinned by multi-million-dollar projects across Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sydney. Together, these projects will transform the cities in which we operate and deliver significant economic and tourism benefits to our local communities.

Tourism Opportunity 

A sustainable tourism and business opportunity underpins The Star Entertainment Group’s transformational projects at The Star Gold Coast, Queen’s Wharf Brisbane and in Sydney.

These developments will lead to significant growth in intra-state, interstate and international visitation, and help drive the global appeal and aspiration of each location.

Data from Tourism Research Australia and the Australian Bureau of Statistics continues to support the assertion that strong growth in the tourism sector will continue, embedding it as a significant long-term driver of the Australian economy.

The Star’s projects, together with its partners, will also create thousands of jobs locals, both in construction and once the developments are operational.

Growth in inbound tourism has been driven by Asia, particularly China where the more affluent middle-class, already at significant scale, continues to expand. China remains the largest and fastest growing market for international visitation to Australia.

The Star Entertainment Group is developing world-class global tourism destinations, at an unprecedented scale in South East Queensland, to leverage this tourism opportunity.

Resorts of critical mass, offering a diversity of offerings from hotel and residential accommodation, to an array of restaurants and bars, while also providing conference and event facilities, retail, entertainment and cultural activities, and other attractions, will create tourism hubs of considerable appeal for locals and visitors alike.
