Significant redevelopment of Lindeman Island is now underway with the announcement last week that a range of trades people are now being employed to work on the island.
The job description called for both skilled and general labourers, carpenters, plasters, painters et cetera.
Applications are open now.
Food, accommodation, and transport to the island are all provided.
The first team on site will be restoring the staff accommodation.
This comes after Singaporean based business, Well Smart, bought the island last year for $10 million.
Well Smart are planning to redevelop the island resort and add a new visitor jetty that is
scheduled to be completed by 2025.
Redevelopment of the resort includes the refurbishment of 210 rooms, restaurant, bar, pool, spa and gym, an event space, the provision of two 19-metre catamarans that will act as ferries, a solar farm, nine-hole golf course and accommodation for 200 staff.
Originally closing in 2012, after receiving significant damage from Cyclone Yasi in 2011, the new owners are now looking to return Lindeman Island to its former glory.
As the most southern of the Whitsunday Islands, Lindeman is a tropical paradise.
Lindeman Island also has many beaches, perfect for snorkelling or relaxing and the surrounding uninhabited islands can be accessed when seeking more privacy.
Humpback whales can be seen from shore and dolphins are frequently found playing near the shore.
The resort takes up a small part of the island, the surrounding land provides 19 kilometres of walking trails to be explored.
With several Whitsunday resort islands having closed in recent years, this reopening is a promising sight and it is expected to increase tourism to the Whitsunday region.
