A Vision For The Whitsundays

On August 15 the Whitsundays Chamber of Commerce and Industry revealed an ambitious economic vision for the region's next 20 to 30 years.

Developed with insights from over 130 local business voices, the plan envisions Bowen becoming a leader in agriculture, aquaculture, and marine services, while Collinsville focuses on mining technology and tourism.

Proserpine and Cannonvale are set to evolve into key residential and commercial hubs, and Airlie Beach aims to enhance its reputation as a premier tourist destination.

The Chamber emphasises the importance of political leadership, strategic development, infrastructure investment, and workforce evolution to achieve this vision.
