Mackay Housing Pipeline To Open With Major Government Investment

Mackay Housing Pipeline To Open With Major Government Investment

A long-awaited suite of housing infrastructure upgrades has been announced for the Mackay–Whitsunday region, with Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie unveiling six Residential Activation Fund projects designed to unlock new land and support more than 2,700 future homes. The works include a new trunk road linking Norwood Parade in Beaconsfield and Reed Street in Rural View, major upgrades to Wallmans Road, and significant sewer, water and stormwater infrastructure across Mirani, Marian, Proserpine and Cannonvale. The projects are aimed at removing long-standing barriers to development by delivering essential services needed for new residential growth. Regional communities are expected to benefit from improved road connections, upgraded drainage systems and expanded utility networks, paving the way for new housing estates and faster delivery of homes. Local leaders say the investment will help ease pressure on a tight housing market and bring forward development that has been years in the making across the region. Read on page 4...
