$178 Million Cairns CBD & Waterfront Developments

Within the past 7 days there have been two progressions in major development projects which have been very well received by the local tourism and construction industries.

The Cairns Regional Council has now officially approved the $155 million Entertainment Precinct development allowing for the progress of the design, lodgement of development applications and calls for expressions of interest from contractors.

The development approval came down to the line last Wednesday at the Council’s meeting with six councillors voting for the proposal and five against, however after months of deliberations and scrutiny the development will now progress.

Another “Shot in the Arm” for the local construction industry came early this week when the contract for the $23 million Cairns foreshore redevelopment was awarded.

Up to 120 workers will be employed by Hutchinson Builders to transform the heritage-listed Wharf Shed No.2 into commercial premises.

These projects will serve as a much needed double boost for Cairns and the North Queensland region, bringing major new entertainment, leisure and tourism facilities to the city and generating new employment not only throughout the construction phases yet also well into the future via ongoing hospitality and tourism service operations.
