1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Capricorn Coast is a stretch of coastline in Central Queensland, Australia which spreads 150 kilometres from end to end. As a consultant of Capricorn Entiprises it is our responsibility to evaluate and decide the location for a new resort

The location will produce the most economic growth being a prior tourist location and a well known area. The landscape is environmentally stable, with the seawall preserving the dunes and preventing erosion. The Yeppoon Main Beach is also the most socially beneficial as it is located in the middle of Yeppoon, close enough for tourists to walk from the resort to shops. Also by placing the resort on the old hospital site it’ll be taking advantage of an derilic wasteland and turning it into a commercial enterprise to bring in both tourists and money to the
