MORE pieces of the puzzle have been put in place to make the Capricorn Coast dream of having the world’s first commercial surf wavepool a reality.
Artificial wavepool company Surf Lakes International has added overseas-based sales personnel to its team, as it edges closer to having a development application for its proposed project near Yeppoon submitted to Livingstone Shire Council.
“We’ve just appointed several sales directors, thankfully most of them on commission, but they’re super excited about it,” Surf Lakes International founder and CEO Aaron Trevis revealed.
“They’re based in UK, and Europe, and Asia. and we’ve got a full-time guy in the USA.”

THIS weekend Surf Lakes will take the next step towards making its wave-generating prototype open to the public by hosting a public information session on the project.
Plans for the session were first flagged by Surf Lakes media and marketing director Wayne Dart in late November after he revealed the company had commenced the approvals process to convert the facility.
Mr Dart said Surf Lakes was hosting a presentation at Yeppoon’s Town Hall on Sunday between 3pm and 5pm where it would update the community on Surf Lakes’ progression at the Capricorn Coast site.

Artificial wavepool company Surf Lakes International today revealed an exciting “work in progress” masterplan for its Yeppoon development dream, which could go way beyond the existing proposed surf lake.
In a deputation to Livingstone Shire councillors, Surf Lakes representatives revealed there was potential for a second still-water lake including an aqua park.
But wait, there’s more. Surf Lakes near Yeppoon.
Surf Lakes International founder and CEO Aaron Trevis revealed also on the drawing board was a recreational lawned area which could “dovetail” into a sporting field capable of hosting festivals and events as well.
He said bigger longer-term possibilities being looked at included a hotel on the Surf Lakes Yeppoon site which currently has an artificial wavepool that is not open to the public as yet.
