Tourism Infrastructure Gets Major Boost

A significant $60 million investment in tourism infrastructure is set to transform the Urangan Marina, marking a new chapter in Hervey Bay’s development. The city, known for its abundance of natural riches, stands as the gateway to World Heritage-listed K’gari and has earned recognition as a Whale Heritage Site, featuring some of the world’s premier whale watching experiences.

Events and Entertainment

The Sounds of Rock Music Festival is making its return to the Fraser Coast on September 6th, 2025, promising a day filled with powerhouse performances. The festival will showcase iconic Australian artists, including JON STEVENS performing INXS and Noiseworks hits, THE ANGELS, BABY ANIMALS, PSEUDO ECHO, DRAGON, EUROGLIDERS, and TAXIRIDE featuring Jason Singh.

Infrastructure and Development

The region’s economic landscape is evolving with the establishment of an aircraft factory at Hervey Bay Airport, which will produce up to 25 planes annually. Astro Aero will construct a high-tech aircraft manufacturing centre on a greenfield site at the airport. The airport has already undergone a comprehensive two-stage redevelopment, ensuring it meets Australian design and safety standards.

Tourism and Accommodation

A new comprehensive tourism website has been launched to support the local economy, particularly benefiting hospitality and tour operators. The platform offers direct booking options for Fraser Island K’gari and Whale Watching tours, along with various culinary experiences. For budget-conscious travelers, the best time to visit is between September and November, when accommodation rates are typically at their lowest.

Looking Ahead

The city’s economy continues to thrive on tourism, centered around whale watching in Platypus Bay, ferry access to K’gari, recreational fishing and boating, and its signature north-facing, calm beaches with spacious undeveloped foreshore zones. Notably, Hervey Bay holds the distinction of being named the world’s First Whale Heritage Site by the World Cetacean Alliance, recognizing its commitment to sustainable whale and dolphin watching practices.
