An Australian wave-generating surf pool with plans to expand into a year-round tourist attraction could open to visitors as early as 2022.
Broadbeach-based company Surf Lakes built the facility in 2018 near the town of Yeppoon on Queensland s Capricorn Coast.
The pool uses five wave technology to produce five different levels of waves around the lake, using a giant plunger driven by compressed air at the center.
Now, the company plans to convert the site into the ultimate surf getaway in a $187million development plan lodged with the Livingstone Council last month.
The start-up first launched the world-first technology in 2018, which boasts the highest wave productivity, with hundreds of surfers able to catch up to ten waves each per hour
