INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT: Great to join Infrastructure Australia Commissioners and senior staff for their visit to Norship Marine Shipyard today! Fantastic opportunity to see the incredible work happening right here in Cairns with the Common User Facility and witness the impressive capabilities of our local maritime industry firsthand.
Thanks to Blake Wilson and the team at NORSTA Maritime for facilitating this important visit. Having several vessels out of the water provided a perfect demonstration of the scale and sophistication of our regional shipbuilding capabilities.
These connections with Infrastructure Australia are vital for highlighting Far North Queensland’s strategic importance and the infrastructure investments needed to support our growing Defence and maritime sectors.
It’s always exciting to show visitors what we already know – that Cairns is home to world-class facilities and expertise that play a crucial role in Australia’s northern development strategy.
Productive discussions about the infrastructure and governance implications of major Defence investments in our region. This is exactly the kind of engagement that helps secure future funding and recognition for FNQ.
