A town planning report submitted to the Cassowary Coast Regional Council on behalf of Bikucroc Pty Ltd proposed the crocodile farm also operate as a tourism activity, providing for tourist visitation to the site involving the exhibition of other native and exotic fauna, including cassowary and African ostrich, iguana, pythons, turtles and goats (and) kangaroos. Crocs would have been accommodated in cement enclosures and ponds and tourists would have been able access a viewing enclosure and visitor platforms.
