WhiteWater World is a new water park located on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia that opened to the public on December 8, 2006. It is situated directly adjacent to the Dreamworld theme park, in the suburb of Coomera. As with Dreamworld, WhiteWater World is owned and operated by Macquarie Leisure Trust and was built as an alternative to the nearby Warner Village Theme Parks' Wet'n'Wild Water World. The park has an Australian beach culture theme.
