Queensland Fast Tracks Cairns Marine Precinct Funding
The Queensland government has fast-tracked delivery of a campaign promise to fund $30 million to upgrade shipping yards in the far north as part of its CCP virus economic recovery plan.
The funding will also help achieve the Royal Australian Navy’s goals of upgrading Cairns’ marine precinct to become a maintenance hub for its vessels, as Australia keeps watch on the Chinese communist regime increasing presence in the pacific.
Acting Premier Steven Miles who was in Cairns on Thursday to deliver on campaign promises made by Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk in October said the government is now in the market for the $2 million business case for the expansion of the Cairns Marine Precinct.
