Once in a lifetime opportunity.
The Fraser Coast Regional Council with the support of the state government has backed a bold and ambitious plan to back a facility that supports the activities of the local, national and international marine industry, the opportunity to capture the potential in common user facility at a site in Walkers Point, North West of the Maryborough.
The positives.
• Sub-tropical climate, similar latitude to Hawaii / Miami Florida;
• World class standards of living;
• Attractive costs for housing and consumer items;
• World standard transport systems - road, rail, sea and air;
• International standard health and sporting facilities; and
• A very long history associated with engineering in particular shipbuilding and railway locomotives and rolling stock. A ready supply of skilled labour is available and incentives are available for skills based training.
Location
• Southern bank of the Mary River, approximately 15 kilometers downstream from Maryborough
• 7 kilometers west of the mouth of the river, as it meets the mouth of the Great Sandy Strait.
• Maryborough CBD is approximately 4 kilometers to the south west.
Development Concept - Key features of the Maryborough Marine Industry Precinct will be:
• 10 hectare common user precinct in which will be located a wet basin with travel lift and adjacent hardstand area;
• 19.2 hectare open space/drainage corridor in which stormwater treatment facilities and establishment of an interpretive
wetland and compensatory planting for mangroves removed for the wet basin;
• 6.6 hectare precinct fronting Beaver Rock Road potentially suitable for the establishment of an aquaculture precinct or
other complementary uses; and
• A balance area of approximately 27 hectares suitable for development (the actual extent of which is subject to further
hydrology and fill assessments).
