Development, Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning Steven Miles said this was a significant commitment to drive Queensland’s tourism sector’s economic recovery. “Queensland’s theme parks have long been a major draw for domestic and international tourism, but the ongoing pandemic has hit them particularly hard,” the Deputy Premier said. “Like our world class rollercoasters, the tourism sector has had its ups and downs over the past 12 months, but our message to Australians is that the Gold Coast and our theme parks are open for business and they’re better than ever. “The Palaszczuk Government has proudly supported Village Roadshow’s $70 million expansion through our $25 million Tourism Icons program and the $1 billion Industry Support Package.
“Queensland’s economic recovery has already begun, and we’re seeing that here with this investment creating an additional 100 new jobs as well as the indirect benefits for businesses across the Gold Coast.”
At Village Roadshow Theme Parks, we remain committed to providing world-class attractions and experiences for our guests and this $70million investment will play a vital role in reviving the Queensland Tourism Industry while also creating an additional 100 new jobs.”

Minister for Tourism Stirling Hinchliffe said the Palaszczuk Government was backing Queensland’s tourism sector and rebuilding following the devastating pandemic. “This is a significant commitment by Village Roadshow to Australia’s world-famous holiday destination,” Minister Hinchliffe said.
“Village Roadshow’s new attraction line-up recognises the resilience of Queensland tourism and the Australian love of a Gold Coast holiday. “The Palaszczuk Government has proudly backed Village Roadshow through the global pandemic with our $25 million Tourism Icons program and $1 billion industry support package, that investment is paying dividends.” Minister for Environment and Local Member for Gaven Meaghan Scanlon welcomed the new attractions as part of the Gold Coast’s economic
recovery.
“The Gold Coast’s theme parks have always been a major draw card for tourists, but the pandemic has been hard on our beloved parks,” Minister Scanlon said.
“A $70 million injection into our theme parks is a major boon for our city’s economic recovery, creating 100 new jobs and local businesses will benefit as well with more tourists coming to the Gold Coast.
“These new attractions remind Australians looking for their next holiday destination that the Gold Coast is good to go.”
