Canberra Aqua Park, 5 Month A Year Business

Business Details

EOI, Earn your Year’s Income (350k PEBITDA) in Just Five Months
 
Step into a business that delivers exceptional returns with a lifestyle to match. Operating only November to March, this popular water attraction drew over 28,000 customers last season and faces minimal competition—making it perfectly positioned for continued growth.
 
With the park experiencing excellent growth in numbers on last season, it is all positives from here.
 
The beauty is you're not stuck trying to operate the park over the cooler months, you’re not paying rent on a site when you have no customers. You only open when the crowds want you.
 
Just imagine your winter: chasing the sun overseas or hitting the ski fields, while your business hibernates until next season.
