Source;- REIQ Journal, December 2016/January 2017, Pg.19
The State Government has launched a series of measures which it hopes will reinvigorate the local economies throughout regional Queensland, including bolstering jobs and real estate.
In Townsville, three levels of government signed a memorandum of understanding to renew the city centre, create a vibrant and liveable city and accelerate jobs growth.
Early opportunities include revitalising the CBD and waterfront precinct – drawing on the Commonwealth’s commitment of $100 million for an intergrated stadium and entertainment centre – and activating the State Development Area – including through delivery of the Commonwealth’s commitment of $150 million for the Townsville Eastern Access Rail Corridor.
