KUR-World

The KUR-World proposed project area is located centrally in the Kuranda township on 626ha – approximately a third of all residential land subdivided in Kuranda so far.  The project area straddles sensitive habitat for endangered Wet Tropics species and development will severely impact on the Kuranda Envirolink Corridor.

Craig Crawford,
Member for Barron River,

Craig,

Residents of Kuranda express concerns about the KUR-World proposal to be sited on the land identified locally as the Barnwell Property.

Find attached is an open letter seeking your assistance as our local member, and representative of the Queensland Government.

We look forward to your support in this matter, as the proposal is considered to be an ‘out of phase’ one, which would result in dire outcomes, should it be approved.

We await your response to this community request.

Bob Madden
