The Capricorn Coast’s iconic Keppel Bay Sailing Club officially opens today following a $20 million investment delivered by Federal Member for Capricornia, Michelle Landry.
Keppel Bay Sailing Club’s redevelopment funding was announced in April 2019 by former Deputy Prime Minister, the Honourable Michael McCormack alongside Michelle Landry MP.
Ms Landry said the Keppel Bay Sailing Club has already delivered enormous economic benefit to Yeppoon with more than 50 locals being provided ongoing employment.
“This state-of-the-art facility is a huge win for our community, showcasing the Capricorn Coast on the national stage and creating valuable job opportunities for locals.”
Ms Landry hailed the Keppel Bay Sailing Club’s redevelopment as a game-changer for the Capricorn Coast, positioning the region as a premier destination for large-scale conferences and sailing events.
“My $20 million investment in this project is more than funding; it’s a boost to our local economy, ensuring the region stays competitive and continues to grow its business and tourism sectors.
“I congratulate the Keppel Bay Sailing Club on this exciting chapter in the Club’s history,” Ms Landry said.
