dream today
live tomorrow

Eighty percent dedicated National Park, a small remainder of the island has been ordained for sustainable development by the Queensland government. Indications are that this will be the last island made available for any development within the idyllic Whitsunday Group.

This provides a rare opportunity to build your island dream with strictly limited availability. Approximately 40 lots will be made available in Basil Bay in Stage 1 and 2 of the development.

Stage 1, ‘The Beach Houses’ are now available for purchase.

Development and Services

The island is being carefully developed to provide services with minimal impact on the island’s natural assets. Sealed roads and an operational airstrip provide access. From 2009 a ferry will operate from Mackay, taking around 40 minutes from port to port.

Though development is tightly controlled, the island boasts substantial services that operate within sustainable practice guidelines. Each dwelling harnesses rainwater and solar power; self-sufficient waste treatment is encouraged. These are supported with a centralised power grid and treatment works.

Build your Dream

Unlike many property developments, Keswick offers the chance to build your dream. Though stringent build guidelines preserve the island's key strengths, there are no pre-planned or built dwellings imposed.

The only Plan you buy off is the island's natural topography and precinct subdivisions. Keswick is an untouched paradise. Here build designs are driven by the owner’s vision, in harmony with the natural surrounds.

Lot Sizes and Zones

Both individual and multi-occupancy allotments are available to suit all tiers of project. Please view the lot plan and build guidelines for further details.

Designed for Eternity

After intense scrutiny, the Queensland government granted Keswick Developments custodianship of the island. They are passionately committed to preserving the natural strength and beauty of the island. Their vision and stringent guidelines ensure the integrity of the island experience will be maintained for generations to come. Protecting your investment today and into the future.

Investment Opportunity

Keswick offers a rare opportunity to own and develop one's dream island property and it falls within a burgeoning population area. Mackay, the closest mainland city, is easily accessible by day-trippers and island residents alike. It has experienced substantial growth over the last five years and this trajectory is expected to continue. The exclusive properties on Keswick offer the rare package of being residential, tourism and leasing property investment holdings in an idyllic location.
