Coffs Harbour’s iconic pet porpoise pool will undergo a facelift,using $100,000 from a state government grant.
The money, made available through a Regional Tourism Fund, will be used to build a new beach and improve landscaping around the dolphin lagoon.
Around 90,000 tourists visit the attraction every year, which generates more than $10-million in income.
The facility employs more than 40 staff.

Hi Denis
Thanks for the news note, however, there are a few errors in the information you provide. First, it would take more than 3-4 years for the business to turn over 10 million dollars, we really only turn over between 2-3M each year. Secondly, in the last few years visitation to the park has seen a significant drop of 25% which is in line with the Coffs Coast drop in visitation since 2008. Which means we now welcome less than 70,000 each year. Finally, the park employees nearly 50 staff or 33 FTE’s.
Regards
Paige Sinclair – CEO – Pet Porpoise Pool – Dolphin Marine Magic
