East Shores Redevelopment

A world-class waterfront for the Gladstone community

The East Shores precinct provides a world-class recreational hub for residents and visitors to meet, relax, exercise and have fun, in addition to the 43 hectares of existing space at the nearby Gladstone Marina and Spinnaker Park.

The community parkland has been designed to reflect a sustainable industrial city and generate local pride for the people of Gladstone, while demonstrating the contribution of Gladstone’s coal exporters to the community.

Stage 1A of the East Shores Parkland was completed in 2014, providing the community with exceptional access to the harbour through the popular recreation area, waterpark, open green space and waterfront promenade.

Stage 1B of the East Shores Parkland opened in August 2020, bringing a range of new facilities to the precinct including a waterfront café, cruise terminal, boot camp, outdoor theatre, and additional barbeque facilities.
