Prospect. $100 million theme park

Construction of the $100 million Wet ‘n’ Wild Sydney theme park, at Prospect, by Village Roadshow, is expected to begin in a few months in time to open by September 2013. The Department of Planning approved an application in December for the design, construction and operation of stages 1 and 2. The application also sought approval for a Complying Development Code for the future development of Stage 3. The theme park has leased 25 hectares of land from the Western Sydney Parklands Trust. Village is reported to have said 300 jobs would be created during construction and operation of the park and $500 million would be injected into the Western Sydney economy in the first 10 years.
