Amaze World’s windmill revived in latest stage of transformation
Popular Sunshine Coast attraction, Amaze World, has had its 13 metre high Dutch windmill - which stands prominently overlooking the maze complex – revived as part of a larger investment in modernising and expanding the attraction.
Amaze World’s transformation has also included the addition of new mazes, puzzles, playgrounds, mini-golf and augmented reality experiences inside the venue, along with enhanced dining and group facilities.
Tens of thousands of Australians who visited the former Bellingham Maze on the Sunshine Coast in the 1990s and 2000s would remember the large Dutch windmill.
Times changed and Bellingham Maze’s windmill stopped turning and was in desperate need of revitalisation when Adam and Robyn Cheshire came along and bought the property and began a multi-million dollar transformation of the park into Amaze World, which was unveiled in 2022 after the first stage of a five-year renaissance program.
The transformation culminated in the relaunch of the Dutch windmill. With its completion, those driving along Tanawha Tourist Drive will once again be able to marvel at the sight of the majestic windmill with its spinning blades and new vibrant nighttime lighting.
Adam Cheshire, owner of the award-winning Amaze World enthused "we are thrilled to unveil the rejuvenated windmill to our visitors.
"It's not just a renovation; it's a celebration of history and community. This iconic structure holds a special place in the hearts of Sunshine Coast locals and tourists alike, and we're delighted to breathe new life into it.“
Amaze World co-owner, Robyn Cheshire, added "The windmill has always been a symbol of adventure and discovery for those travelling through the Sunshine Coast. We're excited to welcome both new and returning guests to experience the magic of Amaze World and its iconic windmill.“
