The Big Pineapple, Queensland is set for a transformation. The owners are currently looking at a food based, eco tourism, glamping resort but say they are open to ideas for a potential theme park.

Owners of the iconic attraction on Australia'sSunshine Coast plan to redevelop the 162 ha site. Their current plans are for afamily fun park, glamping site, an RV park with walking trails and outdoor sport facilities.

Co-owner Peter Kendall said,"What we want to do is make a food-based and eco-tourism-based destination that incorporates the existing big pineapple, but adds other things ... and has outlets for local produce.

"There's rainforest on the land that would lend itself to eco-walks [and] we've talked about things like zip lining."


The Big Pineapple's annual music festival will remain a fixture and there are no plans to remove the animal hospital and train.

Kendall added that the attraction would be "very suitable for a theme park of some description as well but theme parks are typically run by large professional operators.

"So if an operator came forward and had a desire to build some sort of theme park there, we'd certainly been keen to do that."

The public have been invited to provide input to the master plan.
