Disneyland in Australia

Proposals to open a Disneyland amusement park in Australia have existed since the late 1990s. However, the Walt Disney Company has never opened a Disneyland park in the Southern Hemisphere.

The majority of recent proposals have been in Melbourne and Adelaide.

Early proposals
The first reports of a proposal to build a Disneyland park in Australia were in the 1990s, when a park was proposed on the Gold Coast. The Walt Disney Company reportedly liked the idea, but a last minute intervention saw the plan abandoned in favour of a park in China. Hong Kong Disneyland opened in 2005.

In 2007, the Walt Disney Company itself proposed building a Disneyland Resort in Sydney, with the proposed name "Disney Wharf at Sydney Harbour". However, the company abandoned the plan due to hefty costs.

Recent proposals
In recent years, proposals for a Disneyland park in Australia have resurfaced, with the majority of proposals being in either Melbourne or Adelaide.

In June 2024, David Limbrick, a Libertarian MP for the South-Eastern Metropolitan Region of the Victorian Legislative Council, proposed three potential locations for a Disneyland park in Melbourne. He suggested the southeastern suburbs of Cranbourne, Dandenong and Frankston as potential locations. Frankston Mayor Nathan Conroy supported the proposal.
