Bowen business leaders have not held back in sharing their thoughts on a newly released town masterplan, labelling it a âfeel good documentâ that fails to address a âdire needâ to develop and diversify the local economy.
The Whitsunday Regional Councilâs draft plan to âhelp shape Bowenâs potentialâ recently went out for community consultation, and Bowen Chamber of Commerce chairman Bruce Hedditch has been vocal about its shortcomings.
He claims it does not provide the roadmap for industrial promotion and economic development the town needs.
Mr Hedditch said empty shops and declining property values should be indicators âthere is a dire need in Bowen for something to happenâ.
