Australia was one of the first countries to prove commercial surf parks could actually work, and it hasn't slowed down since. Two Wavegarden Coves are open and bookable today, a third is under construction in Perth, and three more have been announced across Queensland, South Australia, and New South Wales. Here's every one of them.
URBNSURF Melbourne, Victoria
The original. URBNSURF Melbourne opened in January 2020 in Tullamarine, close to the airport, and was the proof of concept the rest of the industry pointed to for years afterward. It runs a Wavegarden Cove with sessions from AUD 89.
Best for: Anyone who wants to see where the modern commercial surf park playbook actually started.
URBNSURF Sydney, New South Wales
The second URBN Surf site, built on the same Wavegarden Cove platform, with sessions from AUD 104 at Sydney Olympic Park. URBNSURF Sydney gave the operator a second major metro market and gave Sydney surfers a guaranteed session without an ocean check first.
Best for: Sydney locals who are tired of scoring nothing and driving home anyway.
Perth Surf Park, Western Australia
The one currently being built. Perth Surf Park, developed by Aventuur in Jandakot, broke ground in April 2026 and is targeting a late 2027 opening with a 62-module Wavegarden Cove, among the larger Cove configurations announced anywhere. No pricing yet.
Best for: West Coast surfers who currently have to fly east for a bookable session.
Surf Farm, Queensland
The newest addition and Queensland's first Wavegarden project. Surf Farm is planned for the Glass House Mountains on the Sunshine Coast, a 62-module Cove on a former pineapple farm, backed by a team that includes UrbnSurf founding investors. The project switched from an earlier pneumatic-technology plan to Wavegarden's electromechanical system in 2026. Still in pre-construction, targeting a mid-2028 opening; see our full writeup for the timeline and who's building it.
Best for: Brisbane and Sunshine Coast surfers, eventually. Nothing to book yet.
The Break Surf & Stay, South Australia
The Break Surf & Stay is South Australia's entry, running Endless Surf pneumatic technology rather than a Wavegarden Cove, the first technology split in the Australian pipeline. It's under development, targeting a mid-2027 opening.
Best for: Adelaide-area surfers watching for the first non-Wavegarden wave pool in the country.
Wisemans Surf Lodge, New South Wales
The earliest-stage of the group. Wisemans Surf Lodge is announced for New South Wales with Endless Surf technology, but has not confirmed a construction timeline. Treat it as a name and a location for now rather than a project with a date.
Best for: Keeping an eye on, not planning around.
What you can actually book
Two parks are open today, both Wavegarden Coves in the country's two biggest cities, both charging roughly AUD 90 to 105 for a session. Everything else is somewhere between "under construction" and "announced," spread across four more states, which says something about how fast the model has spread here since URBNSURF Melbourne opened in 2020. For session prices everywhere else in the world, see our surf park price guide; for the wave technology itself, our Wavegarden Cove page covers every installation the vendor has running.
