Merlin Entertainments, one of the world's leading visitor attraction operators, is set to invest AU$4m (US$4.2m, EUR3.3m, £2.6m) in Mooloolaba's UnderWater World, Australia.
The UK-based company acquired the Sunshine Coast attraction in March and is developing a new AU$3.5m (US$3.6m, EUR2.9m, £2.3m) ocean tank and tunnel with four zones.
A new water filtration system and a more extensive marine conservation programme are also part of the investment, with new Ocean Tunnel to open from 22 September.
Edward Fuller, Merlin's group divisional director Australia and New Zealand, said: "We are committed to a multi-million dollar investment program and see tremendous opportunity at UnderWater World.
"UnderWater World is a perfect fit for our portfolio and is the jewel in our Queensland crown. Our goal here is simple - to reinvigorate, bolster its presence and turn it into a must- see, unique Queensland attraction."
