Village Centre South (The Mantaray Marina and Residences)

Following a rigorous two-stage expression of interest process Gordon Corporation Pty Ltd was announced as the successful proponent to develop the Village Centre south site.

The department worked closely with stakeholders to drive the approvals and engagement process to facilitate economic development.

In December 2022, Gordon Corporation received development approval for the The Mantaray Marina and Residences project. This mixed-use development will deliver:

• the Gold Coast’s first dedicated superyacht marina featuring 67 berths with moorings up to 60 metres in length
• 24 ultra-luxury residences
• a public retail plaza designed to create a strong link between The Broadwater and the Pacific Ocean
• a publicly accessible boardwalk along the Broadwater
• a landscaped public arbour connecting the Broadwater and Seaworld Drive
• the ability to accommodate future construction of a ferry terminal (if required by the City of Gold Coast).

The project is valued at approximately $300 million. It is estimated to create 960 jobs during the construction phase and 100 jobs when fully operational.

The State and Gordon Corporation have entered into a development management agreement. Major construction works (land side) commenced in 2024. Major works on the marina and water-side development are expected to commence in the third quarter of 2024. Practical completion is anticipated by mid-2026.
