Resort Development Updates

BIG4 Adventure Whitsunday Resort will remain open and welcoming guests throughout the development, with the construction area fully enclosed and securely fenced from guest areas.

Affected activities have already been relocated in preparation for works, and there is still so much for families to enjoy across the Resort. We’ll be carefully managing works to minimise disruption wherever possible and keeping our guests informed as the development progresses.

As with any development, there may be times when construction activity can be heard. However, works will be carefully managed to minimise disruption to our guests wherever possible.

Construction works are initially scheduled from 7.30am to 4pm, Monday to Friday only, with no weekend works scheduled. Excessive-noise power tools and noisy works will not commence before 8.30am.

There may be occasional short-term exceptions, such as during the pool concrete spray pour, and we will keep guests informed when these works are scheduled.

The full development is expected to take approximately 12 months, so the resort will continue welcoming guests while the exciting new facilities take shape.

Considerable planning has gone into allowing the development and resort operations to run alongside each other. The construction area will remain securely separated from guest areas, affected activities have been relocated and works will be carefully managed to minimise disruption wherever possible.

There will still be plenty for the whole family to enjoy throughout the development!

Our lagoon pool and current waterslide park remain available, along with the animal park, mini golf, Froggy Express, jumping pillows, Kermit’s Activity Hub, pickleball, outdoor movies, our daily activities program, Trilogy Café and much more.

The full development is expected to take approximately 12 months.

As with any major construction project, timing can be influenced by weather and other construction variables. We’ll continue to share development progress and key milestones as the project takes shape.

The full development is expected to take approximately 12 months; however, individual completion and opening dates can be influenced by construction progress, weather and other variables.

Rather than announce dates before we can be confident in them, we’ll share confirmed milestones and opening information as the development progresses.

A mandatory construction shutdown of approximately two weeks is planned over the Christmas/New Year period, during which scheduled construction works will pause.

We’ll provide guests with the latest information as we get closer to the holiday period.

We understand that every booking and guest circumstance is different. If you have an existing booking and would like to discuss your stay, please contact our Reservations team with your booking details so we can assist you individually.

Any booking changes or cancellations will be considered in accordance with the applicable booking terms and conditions.

The family feel and unique experience our guests have come to know and love are incredibly important to us.

This development is about adding to the BIG4 Adventure Whitsunday Resort experience, rather than changing what makes the resort special. We’re excited to introduce new facilities and experiences while continuing to offer the activities, atmosphere and warm hospitality our guests love.

The exciting new development will introduce even more ways for families to stay, splash, play and make memories together, including:

A spectacular new resort pool with a swim-up bar

An exciting new high-waterslide park

A purpose-built new café and dining precinct

An upgraded outdoor cinema experience

10 new three-bedroom family cabins

New and enhanced recreation spaces
