Plans for the new $68 million Bowen Jetty have been revealed.
The project will see a new jetty construction that will revitalise the asset and the precinct for the community.
The project will see the construction of a modern jetty that has been designed in line with extensive community consultation, and that will feature a host of public amenities while honouring the rich, 150-year-old history of the structure.
Anne Baker, Labor candidate for Burdekin expressed excitement about the announcement:
“This is a fantastic announcement for North Queensland Bulk Ports (NQBP) and our broader community and shows Labor’s commitment in delivering on, and maintaining the rich heritage of our community.”
“This project, that will see the construction of a modern jetty, will help transform the Bowen coastline for future generations to enjoy, and attract tourists to this beautiful part of Queensland.
“By investing in local infrastructure, we are investing in our local communities and with the Bowen Jetty project, we are protecting our local ecosystems.”
Minister for Transport and Main Roads, Bart Mellish stated:
“The Miles Labor Government understands the importance of this historical asset for the Bowen community.”
“This investment will ensure its future for many generations to come.”
NQBP CEO Brendan Webb also added:
“This has been a collaborative effort between NQBP, the Queensland Government, Whitsunday Regional Council and the Bowen community.”
