Outlook Cafe owner Bill Fawzi is still waiting to discover the impact that beautifying Auckland Hill will have on his popular cafe.
On Tuesday, Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack and Federal Minister for Gladstone Ken OâDowd announced $5 million toward beautifying Auckland Hill and linking the area with the East Shores waterfront precinct.
As a condition of the funding, Gladstone Ports Corporation will match the $5 million in funding for the project, as Gladstone Regional Council is transferring custodianship of the land to the port.
