KUR-World Proposed Development
KUR-World site on Historically Zoned 12 Rural Titles 626ha (1545 acres) Barnwell Road in Kuranda.
The KUR-World proposed project area is located centrally in the Kuranda township on 626ha. The project area straddles sensitive habitat for endangered Wet Tropics species and development will severely impact on the Kuranda Envirolink Corridor.
Not to mention the small tight-knit community of people 2000+ who call Kuranda home.
KUR-World changes everything.
