The Crisafulli Government is breathing new life into Mission Beach after delivering major upgrades in partnership with the Cassowary Coast Regional Council.
Backed by $3.52 million through the Local Government Grants and Subsidies Program, this investment has delivered significant upgrades to the heart of the community.
The revitalised town centre now offers a vibrant and welcoming destination where locals and visitors can live, work, shop and dine, ensuring Mission Beach continues to thrive now and into the future.
Key upgrades include:
Upgraded underground services and stormwater
Upgraded footpaths, roads and intersections
Enhanced street lighting
New awning structure installed
Toilet facilities renewed
New street furniture and public art installed
Under Labor's decade of decline, councils were neglected and forced to shoulder the burden of ageing infrastructure and run-down facilities.
The Crisafulli Government is changing that, by empowering and partnering with councils to deliver the infrastructure communities need for the future.
It's just one of the ways the Crisafulli Government is delivering a plan for Queensland's future and a better lifestyle through a stronger economy.
Minister for Local Government and Water Ann Leahy said the project showed the Crisafulli Government's commitment to support councils in delivering safe spaces and a better lifestyle for their local communities.
"These upgrades are a fantastic addition to Mission Beach, providing the whole community with a beautiful space to shop, work, dine, or simply relax and enjoy the stunning waterfront views," Minister Leahy said.
"We're proud to have partnered with the Cassowary Coast Regional Council to deliver funding that brings real, lasting benefits to the people of Mission Beach and the many visitors who come to experience this incredible destination."
Member for Hinchinbrook Wayde Chiesa said the revitalisation was a major win for the Mission Beach community.
"Mission Beach is one of North Queensland's most iconic destinations, and these upgrades ensure it continues to be a place people are proud to live in and visit," Mr Chiesa said.
"By working closely with council, we're ensuring communities like Mission Beach have the infrastructure they need to grow, attract visitors, and thrive well into the future."
Cassowary Coast Mayor Teresa Millwood said the project has transformed the town centre into a vibrant space for locals and visitors.
"This project has delivered incredible upgrades, creating a safe and inviting destination where people can enjoy the stunning natural beauty of Mission Beach," Mayor Millwood said.
"We're proud to have worked alongside the Queensland Government to deliver a revitalised town centre that will benefit our community, support tourism, and drive economic growth for the years to come."
