Mackay Port Authority East Point scale model goes on display Article first published on Friday, 30 January 2004 @ 12:42:29 PM

Developer Greg Long today unveiled a scale model of the $250 million East Point tourism and residential development.

Inspecting the new East Point model and display at Caneland Central are Member for Mackay Tim Mulherin, Cr Greg McNeill, developer Greg Long and Yuibera Tribal Elder Garry Mooney.

The model went on display at Mackay’s Caneland Central this morning.

Mr Long said the scale model would give people a clear understanding of the project.

“It is important people know the facts and aren’t misled by misinformation being generated by some groups,” he said. ”It also gives people an accurate idea of how the surrounding eco-system will be managed.”

The first sod on the 70 ha site is expected to be turned in July.

“It is an exciting project that will eventually generate great benefits for Mackay,” he said.
