Ephraim Island, Queensland

Ephraim Island, Queensland

Ephraim Island is luxury residential development located on the Gold Coast, Australia. The development is a joint-venture between [http://www.lewisland.com.au Lewis Land] and [http://www.mirvac.com.au Mirvac] .

The development is distinctive for inhabiting an artificial Island in the Broadwater, connecting to the mainland at adjacent Paradise Point. The Island, its landmass sculpted into a conspicuous albeit backwards "e" from an aerial view, is divided into two sections. The southern division, the 'tail' of the "e", is covered mostly by undeveloped salt mud-lands. The northern 'eye' of the Island has been developed to include a Marina, 12 larger buildings (the largest topping 11 stories), a restaurant and up to 30 separate beach houses open to the Broadwater.

The Island was cleared for development long before any construction began. According to locals, the area was devoid of vegetation from as far back as 1992 due to legal confrontations with concerned members of the community. In 2003, the developers (acknowledged as "Mirvac" and "Lewisland") were given a green light by the Gold Coast City Council and started construction. The project is complete as of mid 2008.
