4–7 ESPLANADE, TIN CAN BAY, QLD
A Once-in-a-Generation Coastal Acquisition
AUCTION – WEDNESDAY 28 OCTOBER 2026
Unless Sold Prior!
Positioned directly on deepwater ocean access in the heart of Tin Can Bay, this extraordinary 5,463m² waterfront property represents one of the most significant coastal acquisition and development opportunities available in the region.
Strategically positioned between the Sunshine Coast and Hervey Bay, and within comfortable reach of Brisbane, this rare offering combines substantial landholding, exceptional waterfront frontage, existing commercial and residential improvements, development potential and genuine deepwater access — a combination that is increasingly difficult to replicate.
THE OPPORTUNITY
• 5,463m² total property area
• Approximately 54m of deepwater frontage to Snapper Creek
• Approximately 80m frontage to the Esplanade
• Existing 582m² leasehold over-water area
• Vendor has an application currently in place to extend the waterfront lease, with the proposed area illustrated in the photographs/plans included in the property gallery (subject to relevant government approvals)
• Zoned Residential Choice
• Potential for development of up to 48 bedrooms, configured across 1, 2 or 3-bedroom units or townhouses (subject to council and other relevant approvals)
• An exceptionally rare large-scale deepwater waterfront holding in the Tin Can Bay region
EXISTING IMPROVEMENTS
Previously operating as a long-established fishing co-operative, the property already contains substantial infrastructure, providing a range of possibilities while future plans and approvals are considered.
Existing improvements include:
• Approximately 920m² commercial building under roof
• Retail seafood shop
• Large processing room
• Cold-storage facilities
• Office and amenities
• Staff room
• Approximately 140m² high-clearance shed
• Solid brick three-bedroom residence
• Various potential options for generating income while future planning and approvals are undertaken
For a buyer already operating within the seafood, commercial fishing or marine industry — whether from Bundaberg, Hervey Bay, the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane or further afield — this property presents an extraordinary opportunity for expansion and potential vertical integration, from trawler to processing to retail.
VISION & LEGACY POTENTIAL
This is more than simply a development site — it is an opportunity to create a landmark waterfront destination.
Imagine the possibilities:
• Luxury waterfront apartments capturing panoramic creek and bay views
• Penthouse living overlooking Snapper Creek and Tin Can Bay
• Ground-floor retail activation, potentially incorporating a modern fish market
• Boutique dining and hospitality venues
• Potential marina and jetty infrastructure (subject to relevant government approvals)
• A landmark waterfront development positioned between the Tin Can Bay Marina and boat ramp
With expansive uninterrupted water views across Snapper Creek and Tin Can Bay, the outlook and position alone set this property apart.
YOU ARE LIMITED ONLY BY VISION AND AMBITION
Tin Can Bay remains one of Queensland's special coastal and marine destinations, offering an enviable combination of boating, fishing, tourism and relaxed waterfront living.
The location provides:
• Direct boating access to the Great Sandy Strait
• Gateway to K'gari (Fraser Island)
• Easy access to Rainbow Beach and Inskip Point
• Surrounded by premium waterfront residences
• Close proximity to the Tin Can Bay Marina
• Excellent access to boating, fishing and marine facilities
• A highly sought-after coastal lifestyle within the wider Fraser Coast/Sunshine Coast region
POSITIONED
• Approximately 2.5 hours from Brisbane
• Under 90 minutes from the Sunshine Coast
• Convenient access to Hervey Bay and Maryborough
• Minutes from Rainbow Beach and the Great Sandy Strait
The wider region continues to benefit from population movement, tourism, boating and marine activity, creating an exciting backdrop for a property of this scale and potential.
INVESTMENT SUMMARY
Waterfront holdings combining this level of scale, frontage, existing infrastructure, zoning and genuine deepwater access are exceptionally difficult to find.
With a total property area of approximately 5,463m², substantial existing improvements and an application currently in place to extend the waterfront lease, this is an opportunity deserving the attention of visionary developers, marina and marine operators, seafood enterprises, investors and mixed-use project groups.
The vendor is committed to the sale and the property is now scheduled to go under the hammer.
