Ports North has unveiled its master plan for future development of facilities and land at the ports of Cairns and Mourilyan.
The 30-year two port master plan is a key step in creating new opportunities for the port of Cairns, including expansion of the Cairns Marine Precinct.
“Developed in consultation with more than 100 stakeholder groups over a period of 18 months, it has helped lay the foundations for new opportunities at the Port of Cairns, including expansions of the Cairns Marine Precinct and HMAS Cairns as well as growth in tourism, project cargo and coastal freight. It also identifies growth in sugar and molasses, along with opportunities for additional magnetite, silica sands and fuel at the Port of Mourilyan.”
