Description Tropical Paradise Resort Precincts Development proposal is a fully master planned world class, environmentally friendly leisure, entertainment, tourism, commercial, retail, sporting, and predominantly short stay living community that compliments the City of Cairns, the Great Barrier Reef, and the Daintree Wet Tropics Rainforest and will be the jewel in the crown of the tropical lifestyle of Far North Queensland and the South Pacific.

The three themed Precincts are located approximately 18km south of Cairns City, immediately to the east of the township of Edmonton and 4 km north of the township of Gordonvale, in an area currently zoned R1 and utilized for growing sugar cane on a gently undulating alluvial floodplain nestled between the MacAlister Range (west) and Murray-Prior Ranges (east).

The Tropical Paradise Resort Precincts will be a unique experience in Australia. Nestled within the tropical landscape are a major US theme park and studio; thrilling water rides and undersea experience, resort hotels, village centre, golf academy and driving range, entertainment precincts and other themed entertainment and themed living, all wrapped around a network of lakes and tropical landscaping. The resort’s three precincts are integrated within an area of working cane farms which will reduce the impact on the area and add to the authenticity of the FNQ experience for visitors.

It is expected that the development will be rolled out over a ten to fifteen year period.
The project is to be developed by Tropical Resort Developments Pty. Ltd (TRD) on behalf of TRD Consortium Holdings Trust Pty Ltd.
