MASTER PLAN PROMISES VS WHAT WAS ACTUALLY DELIVERED

DELIVERED

  • Money was raised from overseas investors and much of the earthworks were completed and then company went into administration. The site is now an environmental mess.
  • Cairns Council back-zoned the property to rural so any future owner can only construct one dwelling.

DIDN’T DELIVER

  • 158 house blocks
  • Shopping village
  • 4 unit complexes

In summary, $20 million was raised on a public float with mostly overseas investors investing in the project. House blocks were sold off the plan to international investors.
The earthworks were larger than anticipated with blasting through granite to form roads. Eventually went broke. The site is an environmental mess.
