70966 Bruce Highway

This unique 13.9 ha. site is located on the Bruce Highway, at the strategic gateway access to Cairns, the Atherton Tablelands (via the Gillies Highway), and the Southern Corridor. This site is situated where the main Bruce Highway first enters Cairns urban precincts, as well as being a main access via the Gillies Highway for the Atherton Tablelands and all associated tourist and agricultural centres which are located there as well as the areas around Lake Barrine, Lake Eacham, and Tinaroo Dam. Its newly designated zoning of Emerging Communities – Precinct 3 Riverstone Road – means that Cairns Regional Council has identified the need for this location to be considered for a planned development to cater for a multitude of uses stimulating employment and development in the region. The Gordonvale Economic Development Plan will be forwarded to you upon request. The sugar town of Gordonvale, which is adjacent to this site provides various retail and commercial and tourist services to complement those which could be developed on this site. Any uses would be subject to approval by the Cairns Regional Council, and consistency with the planning scheme.
