Queensland Marine Industry Fact Sheet

Based on extensive waterways, accessibility to the ocean, the strong appeal of recreational boating, water temperature, and a climate conducive to boating and highly suitable for fibreglassing, the Gold Coast has become the key Australian centre for production of recreational craft.

Gold Coast City has developed a national and international profile as a producer of pleasure craft and as a place for storing, servicing and enjoying such vessels. The industry is concentrated around the Gold Coast Marine Precinct, Coomera River, Sanctuary Cove, Steiglitz, Broadwater, Ernest / Molendinar and Burleigh Junction.
