Conserving and protecting a unique environment

As a global leader in eco-tourism, Australia’s commitment to conserving its natural environment is world-renowned. Ella Bay aspires to enhance this tradition of environmental stewardship.

A safe haven for protected flora & fauna

Nestled between two World Heritage areas - the Wet Tropics rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef - and home to rare, protected species like the iconic crested cassowary, this is an area steeped in natural beauty, unique wildlife and ancient culture.

A deep connection to land and sea

Developed in consultation with the land’s Indigenous custodians, the Mamu people, plans for Ella Bay will ensure the preservation of this ecologically-significant region for generations to come.

A future beacon for eco-tourism excellence

The masterplan for Ella Bay will set a new standard for eco-tourism, with a view to creating a community that is both environmentally and socially self-sufficient. Sustainability has been weaved into every aspect and detail of the proposed development, from the eco-friendly building design to the provision of best-in-class green water, waste and energy strategies.

Plans include a cassowary research and education centre where guests can immerse themselves in the ecology of the region, while the establishment of environmental reserves and a wildlife corridor will ensure visitors, flora, and fauna can coexist in harmony.
