Peninsula Hot Springs partners with Hall & Wilcox for landmark resort in Western Queensland

In a historic collaboration, Hall & Wilcox has played a pivotal role in advising Peninsula Hot Springs on the development of its new multi-million-dollar resort in Cunnamulla, a rural town located 800 kilometres west of Brisbane in Western Queensland. The resort, named Cunnamulla Hot Springs, marks the largest development in Paroo Shire Council history and is poised to elevate the town into Australia's hot spring capital.

Designed by Cox Architects, Cunnamulla Hot Springs is set to redefine the region's tourism landscape by merging natural springs with renowned attractions like the Eulo Mud Baths, Charlotte Plains, Yowah Artesian Baths, and the artesian waters of Alroy Station. The resort promises a unique blend of luxury, wellness, and sustainability, featuring six geothermal hot and warm pools, an ice-cold plunge pool, a sauna, steam room, an underground aqua hammam, and a mud club clay area—all utilising mineral-rich artesian waters naturally warmed by the Great Artesian Basin.

Hall & Wilcox's expert legal team, led by Partner Brad Marland, alongside senior associate Natalie Pecenicic, lawyer Jordan Petrie, and law graduate Jordan Beveridge, navigated the complexities of trustee agreements for lease and trustee leases with the Paroo Shire Council. These agreements have paved the way for Peninsula Hot Springs to seamlessly operate this transformative venture.

Reflecting on the achievement, Partner Brad Marland emphasised the successful collaboration between Peninsula Hot Springs and the Paroo Shire Council, describing the project as an exciting journey contributing to sustainability and community engagement. Charles Davidson, Peninsula Hot Springs Group Co-Founder and Chair, expressed gratitude to Hall & Wilcox for their thorough and professional approach, highlighting the critical role played in initiating this catalyst project in the heart of the Queensland Outback.

The Cunnamulla Hot Springs project not only signifies a remarkable milestone in the Paroo Shire Council's history but also underscores the commitment to innovation, sustainability, and community development in Western Queensland. The resort's successful opening is a testament to the meticulous groundwork and collaborative efforts between Peninsula Hot Springs and its legal advisors at Hall & Wilcox.
