                             Sunshine Coast Paintball Development Application 2017




Market position: Sunshine Coast Paintball products are at a competitive position in the market,
offering the most affordable experience with the highest level of service from our staff.

Unique selling position: Unlike other competitors throughout Queensland, our paintball site will
be operational for quick speedball games rotating between three unique fields. In addition to this
the site will operate at night to avoid the heat for both recreational and sporting teams.

Anticipated demand: The Sunshine Coast offers only one paintball site to service the region's
population which exceeds 280,000 according to the Council statistics. While the product would be
considered a luxury item and may be utilised every 6 to 12 months by most customers, there is
the potential for regular users as a recreational sport.
