Date: 24 February 2027 - 25 February 2027

Location: Brisbane, Australia

00:00:00 00:00:00 Australia/Perth Events The waterfront and marina development sector in Australia is rapidly gaining momentum as a high-value segment within real estate, tourism, and infrastructure. Australia is home to more than 850 marinas and over 70,000 recreational vessels, supporting a marine industry valued at over AUD 10 billion annually. With Queensland—particularly Brisbane and the Gold Coast—positioned as key marine and tourism hubs, demand for marina berths, waterfront living, and integrated coastal developments continues to rise. This growth is clearly reflected in major ongoing projects such as the Colmslie Wharves commercial marina in Brisbane, a landmark development expected to inject over AUD 100 million annually into the local economy, attract approximately 110,000 additional visitors per year, and support hundreds of ongoing jobs. Rapid transformation As Brisbane prepares for the 2032 Olympic Games, such developments are accelerating the transformation of the city’s waterfront into a vibrant economic and tourism engine. At the heart of this growth is the shift toward integrated waterfront precinct planning, where marinas act as anchor assets within large-scale mixed-use developments. In Brisbane and across Queensland, waterfront regeneration projects are transforming underutilised riverfront and coastal land into premium lifestyle destinations that combine residential, hospitality, retail, and recreational offerings. Globally, the marina and recreational boating market is projected to exceed USD 60 billion by 2030, driven by rising affluence, tourism, and demand for lifestyle-oriented assets, while waterfront properties in Australia can command price premiums of 20–50% over comparable inland assets. These developments enable stakeholders to unlock premium land value, achieve strong returns, and generate diversified revenue streams, with marina berth occupancy rates in key locations often exceeding 85–95%, rejecting sustained demand. For construction rms, architects, and suppliers, this creates sustained demand across marine engineering, dredging, infrastructure development, and marina facility construction, positioning the sector as a key driver of long-term business growth. From a commercial perspective, marina developments in Australia offer strong profitability and recurring income potential. Diverse revenue potential Operators benefit from multiple revenue streams including berthing fees, maintenance services, leasing of commercial spaces, and hospitality offerings, while limited availability of new marina sites supports premium pricing and long-term value appreciation. The Waterfront & Marina Development Conference by True Ventus will bring together developers, marina operators, investors, councils, architects, and solution providers to explore how to successfully plan, finance, and deliver profitable waterfront projects. Through strategic insights and real-world discussions, attendees will gain practical knowledge on unlocking project value, overcoming development challenges, and capitalising on one of Australia’s fastest-growing and most profitable real estate and infrastructure sectors. WHY YOU CANNOT MISS THIS EVENT Learn how to maximise returns through berthing, commercial leasing, hospitality, and integrated waterfront precincts. Understand how successful developers plan, finance, and execute marina developments while managing costs and timelines effectively. Discover how to navigate planning approvals, zoning constraints, and coastal regulations that often delay or impact project viability. Learn how to improve marina layout, infrastructure planning, and day-to-day operations to enhance utilisation and reduce long-term costs. Explore how leading operators drive occupancy rates, increase customer spend, and build sustainable, high-margin marina businesses
