Rockhampton acting mayor Neil Fisher and Advance Rockhampton executive manager Greg Bowden spoke on Thursday about the extension of a development zone meant to stimulate investment in the city.
The new policy came into effect on January 1 and covers the residential area bounded by Victoria Parade and North, Alma, and Fitzroy streets.
Under it, the council will refund up to 75 per cent of infrastructure charges to any private development that meets its criteria - one of which is increasing job opportunities.
The incentives are available for investment in residential dwellings, health and community services, aged care and retirement, education and training, the resource industry, tourism, and farm stay accommodation.
