A site in Elimbah has been proposed for what developers describe as a major new tourism project. The company behind the idea, RHC City, has submitted plans for Infinity Planet, a 2.6 billion‑dollar integrated entertainment precinct on a 68‑hectare strawberry and macadamia farm just off Bartholomew Road.

The site is alongside the Bruce Highway near the Steve Irwin Way turn‑off and is currently rural land, but the developer believes it could become what their documents term a “permanent world expo.”
According to planning documents, “The project will deliver a globally significant, integrated tourism and entertainment city that combines major tourist attractions, short‑term accommodation, leisure, recreation, and innovation‑led business activity within a single cohesive environment.”
Infinity Planet is designed to unfold across multiple stages. The first stage centres on a new theme park supported by a 9 000‑seat City Hall‑style venue, a cultural mall, an art‑focused complex and parking for around 10 000 vehicles. Although the car parks are large, driving within the precinct itself would not be allowed. Visitors are expected to arrive via public transport, with Elimbah Station located more than three kilometres away.
The developer describes the project as Australia’s largest purpose‑built integrated entertainment city. A key feature of the plan is 50 cultural pavilions where countries can participate and present elements of their heritage, traditions and creative industries. The first precinct is targeted to open ahead of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Later stages would introduce more than 700 hotel rooms ranging from three‑star to five‑star options along with glamping sites. Accommodation for employees and visiting professionals also forms part of the wider vision. Planning reports estimate that the hotel offering could generate close to 300 000 additional room nights per year once operational.
Retail and business activity form another major element of the proposal. The development includes a 136 000‑square‑metre internationally themed retail and dining precinct as well as a business and technology park designed to attract innovation‑focussed industries.
Visitor projections provided by the developers suggest that the theme parks could draw around 1.2 million people annually, while a further 1.8 million visitors may be drawn to the retail precinct. Forecasts also indicate strong interest from international tourists.
RHC City presents the proposal as a significant cultural and economic opportunity. Their planning documents describe the vision for Infinity Planet as “a dynamic, sustainable, and future‑ready tourism city that captures the imagination of visitors of all ages, offering cultural experiences for every member of the family while generating enduring employment and defining the next evolution of tourism, entertainment, and innovation for Queensland.”
