Perfect waves year-round, scuba diving and luxury accommodation; it is a local man's vison for Yeppoon that he hopes will transform central Queensland's surfing culture.
The company's latest development application expands that vision to transform the site with boutique accommodation, a scuba pool, an aquapark and campgrounds to create the ultimate surf getaway.
Under the development application, 52 cabins, 100 caravan or camp sites, a 75-bed boutique hotel and a cafe would be added to the existing wave pool.

A scuba pool, skate park, mountain bike pump track as well as an overflow lake, a village green and a solar farm would also form part of the site.
Surf Lake's proposal splits the development into two stages with the first focussing on the commercial opening of the wave pool, providing short-term accommodation and establishing the solar fam.
Camp sites and accommodation would be added progressively with the hotel, aqua park, the village green and other major developments forming part of stage two.

A keen surfer, born and bred in Yeppoon, Mr Trevis said he learned to surf at Farnborough Beach in Yeppoon but reached a stage in his life where local breaks just did not cut it.
We're keen to have school groups and school camps, disabled surfers and even aged care groups involved for learning to surf, because it's just such a thrill and a really healthy, healthy sport.

The chief executive of regional tourism and development organisation Capricorn Enterprise, Mary Carroll, said if approved the development could attract a new group of tourists to the Capricorn Coast.
