The largest island within the 16 strong Keppel group of islands on the Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef with 17 world class pristine sandy beaches Great Keppel Island is about to become the world’s most exclusive tourism and holiday destination attracting some of the world’s biggest stars as visitors and investors.  


Project Co-Founder Tim Sommers says “Great Keppel Island Token holders will receive significant benefits from the Island itself in addition to the asset backing unlike most other crypto currencies which have no asset backing at all and their value is based purely on sentiment. The GKI Token Holders will have the very real asset backing of the actual island, which is predicted to be valued at over $3 billion when fully developed within 5 years. Building starts in 2019. The GKI Token Holders also receive the benefit of liquidity should they wish to sell their tokens at any time.” 


“Great Keppel Island will be the first Blockchain, Crypto and Internet of Things enabled island in the world allowing high security, crypto payments and accountability for services. The development will provide over 1,400 full and part time jobs to the local area. It really will make Keppel great again!” concludes Sommers. 


Anthony Aiossa, CEO of Tower Holdings, the owners, says” This is the largest ever development approval obtained on the Great Barrier Reef and it’s set to establish a new benchmark within the Australian tourism industry, especially with its major focus on environmentally sustainable tourism initiatives. The Great Keppel Island project will create an iconic tourism destination for both domestic and international guests who wish to experience the Great Barrier Reef in all of its glory. In recent years the product offering of many tourism destinations within Australia and the Great Barrier Reef has not kept pace with the significant new tourism development in other beach holiday locations such as Bali, Fiji, Thailand and Hawaii which has seen a major outflow of Australian tourists to these locations. The Great Keppel Island project will offer a brand new fully integrated resort with 17 white sandy beaches, a spectacular beach front hotel, new marina, retail village and world class golf course all on the one island with easy direct air access from Sydney, Brisbane and Cairns.”   

The Queensland Government has approved all the development proposals including 750 luxury villas, 300 luxury apartments, 250 Marina Births, 9,000 square metres of retail shops and restaurants, an 18 hole Greg Norman designed golf course and a 1.5km commercial airstrip capable of international and domestic flights.

In addition the Queensland Government is investing $25 Million to connect power and water to the mainland.
