The sale marks a significant milestone in the ongoing development of the Kooralbyn region, renowned for its potential as a hub for tourism, education, and aviation activities.

Adjacent to the airport is the former Kooralbyn International School upper campus, a historic property that was once a cornerstone of the region’s educational excellence and community identity produced 2 young Australian of the year, Cathy Freeman and Scott Hocknull

*"The sale of Kooralbyn Airport and the potential sales of the former Kooralbyn International School site represents a tremendous opportunity for the buyer to rejuvenate and unlock the full potential of these iconic properties. *The Kooralbyn Resort has been recently selected by the Olympic Organizing committee as the satellite village of the Brisbane 2032 Olympics, and we are thrilled to see new energy and investment directed toward its future development," Mr Huang said.

A Strategic Investment

The sale comes at a time when regional assets are experiencing heightened interest from investors seeking opportunities for long-term growth and revitalization. The Kooralbyn Airport holds immense value as a gateway to Queensland’s tourism market, offering possibilities for aviation tourism, pilot training, and private charter services. Meanwhile, the adjoining Kooralbyn International School site stands as a prime asset for educational and community development projects.

The new owners, whose details are yet to be publicly disclosed, are expected to share their vision for the properties in the near future. Early indications suggest plans to restore and repurpose the sites to align with the region’s growth potential and community needs.

Kooralbyn, situated within the Scenic Rim, has seen increasing demand for tourism, residential, and lifestyle investments. The region’s natural beauty, coupled with its strategic location within close proximity to Brisbane and the Gold Coast, positions it as an attractive destination for developers and investors alike.

"Kooralbyn is a jewel in Queensland’s regional crown, and this transaction opens up exciting possibilities for tourism, education, and aviation industries to flourish. It’s a win for the region and for Queensland as a whole," Mr. Huang added.
