most modern in Australia, opening in December 2013 and including 40 attractions, adapted to all kinds of audiences.

Liseberg chooses NCC for new water park and hotel project
Leading Nordic construction and property development company NCC has been selected by Liseberg as partner for the Liseberg Jubilee project. The project includes a water park, a themed destination hotel and parking facilities. Liseberg will, through a fully owned development company, build the project, at an estimated investment of approximately SEK 2b.
