Construction begins on Bundaberg’s first hotel development in 20 years
Construction has started on a new hotel in Bundaberg, a city in Queensland, Australia, about four hours north of Brisbane.
The three-storey hotel will have 97 rooms and is being built across the road from Bundaberg Airport.
It is the city’s first hotel development in 20 years, according to the local council.
A study found the region was short by 800 beds each night, while older motels have made it harder to attract investment in new hotels.
The project is intended to help meet growing demand from leisure and business travellers and is expected to create about 50 ongoing jobs.
Construction is due to finish by mid-2027, with the first guests expected later that year.
