MESSAGE FROMTHE PREMIERMESSAGE FROMTHE TREASURERThe Honourable Annastacia Palaszczuk MPThe Honourable Cameron Dick MPThis year has tested Queenslanders like no other.The COVID-19 pandemic has touched everyone and communitiesin Far North Queensland have not been immune to its effects.Our response to COVID-19 has kept Queenslanders safe andallowed our economic recovery to begin.My Government’s Economic Recovery Plan is all about protectingQueenslanders’ health, creating jobs and working together.Importantly, this plan also recognises that growing our regions is akey priority for Queensland and vital to our State’s future success.Our immediate commitment is to keep the region moving throughextra support for businesses, workers and households – frompayroll tax relief to cost of living support.Our recovery approach recognises that Far North Queensland is adiverse region with a range of sectors contributing substantiallyto the region’s economy, including tourism, mining, agriculture,education and construction.While restoring growth in sectors such as these will be essentialto future prosperity we also want to work with industry and thecommunity to take advantage of emerging opportunities toinnovate and create long-term sustainable jobs into the future.Together we will support these traditional industries andalso invest in more industries, more infrastructure and morebusinesses. This is all about more local jobs.I am so proud of the way Far North Queenslanders have steppedup in these tough times.From the frontline health workers in Cairns Hospital to localbusiness owners like Allen Ashby from AJ Roofing Solutions, whohas been able to employ two roofing tradies and an apprentice tosupport additional work generated by support for the householdresilience program to cyclone-proof local homes.My Government remains committed to not only supporting FarNorth Queensland on the road to recovery but also making surewe position the region for future growth and job generatingopportunities.The rich culture and natural beauty of Far North Queenslandbring tourists to its shores in droves. The diversity of the regiontranslates to a diversity of industries, with tourism, agriculture,mining, health, education, marine, aviation and constructiondriving the regional economy.The people of Far North Queensland are resilient and usedto dealing with natural disasters. We know the biosecuritymeasures put in place to keep Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islandercommunities safe have been challenging.Our proactive approach to managing the pandemic in Queensland,means we can be optimistic about the future recovery of the region– both economically and socially.We know that travel restrictions mean the tourism industry willcontinue to take a hit for the foreseeable future, so we need toreimagine our major industries to adapt to the new normal andprosper into the future.We are investing in the region, supporting new infrastructure anddiversifying new and existing industries.Innovating and revitalising local industries will provide Far NorthQueensland with the greatest opportunities for economic recovery.The region’s world-renowned tourism industry, for example, hasenormous potential to revitalise offerings to attract visitors andgrow the sector.This Government continues to deliver 1.8 billion over four years inbetter roads and transport across the Far North. After completingthe 276 million first stage of the Cape York Region Package, crewsare now delivering another 237.5 million in works alongside a 480 million Bruce Highway upgrade between Edmonton andGordonvale, and the 164 million Smithfield Bypass.Helping the economy to flourish after COVID-19 requires us to thinkahead, unlocking local training opportunities and job creation.By playing to the region’s strengths, businesses and communitiescan focus on recovery, and Far North Queenslanders can know thatwe will be on that journey with them.SEPTEMBER 20203

POSITIONING FAR NORTH QUEENSLANDFOR FUTURE OPPORTUNITIESIMPACTS OF THE GLOBAL COVID-19 PANDEMIC HAVE BEEN FELTBY WORKERS, BUSINESSES, HOUSEHOLDS AND THE COMMUNITYIN FAR NORTH QUEENSLAND, JUST AS IN OTHER PARTS OF OURSTATE AND BEYOND.As in other parts of our state and beyond, Far North Queenslandhas experienced significant impacts on employment, including inthe tourism and hospitality sectors. The Queensland Governmentis providing timely support to cushion the adverse impacts.Almost 66.6 million in Jobs Support Loans have been accessedby more than 461 Far North Queensland businesses to help keepQueenslanders in jobs. Small businesses in the region have alsobenefited from a total of 15.7 million in Small Business AdaptionGrants, and a 4.8 million targeted campaign for the Tropical FarNorth and Gold Coast regions to increase the length of stay in theregions and maximise economic returns for the local industry.In addition, the government-owned corporation for the Port ofCairns (Ports North), has committed to provide over 7.6 millionin marina fee and rent relief to local commercial tourism operatorsand port tenants as a direct response to the adverse impacts ontourism of COVID-19.Far North Queensland’s outstanding reputation as a global tourismdestination, its strong agriculture industry and economic strengthsin marine, aviation, resources and manufacturing, positions theregion well to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic as nationaland international travel restrictions are eased. The longer-termoutlook will be influenced by travellers’ and international studentconfidence in management of the pandemic, demand foragricultural and resources exports, and workforce capacity. Thismakes it important to maintain the region’s reputation as a safetravel destination and to secure investment opportunities thatsupport continued growth in economic diversity in the region.The Queensland Government has worked with stakeholders toidentify strategic opportunities in the region. Throughout theregional recovery forums and workshops, Far North Queenslandhas demonstrated commitment to collaboration and bringingeveryone, including their most vulnerable, on the journey towardsa diverse and inclusive recovery.Through consultation, region-building infrastructure such asports, health, energy, water security, and cultural, tourism andinternational education facilities have been identified as keyopportunities for public and private sector investment. Theseinitiatives can enhance business opportunities and exports, andwith community infrastructure, further enhancing liveability.The Far North Queensland Regional Community Forum also identifiedsupport for youth employment and renewable and sustainableenergy as priorities.Infrastructure has already been boosted in the region through 36.7 million COVID-19 Works for Queensland funding provided toFar North Queensland councils for 108 maintenance projects.The future of health services in the region has been enhancedwith the Queensland Government commitment to planning for auniversity hospital in Cairns. Queensland Health is investing 67.9 million to kickstart the transformation of Cairns Hospital intoa university hospital for the city, plus an additional 15 million toacquire land for a research, education and innovation precinct, fullyintegrated with the hospital.Regional recovery initiatives will support productive infrastructureto ensure efficient supply chains and support tourism, recreationattractions and emerging industries. Initiatives include a 3.5 million grant support to Cairns Aquarium to help local tourismsustain and recover.The Queensland Government is capitalising on emerging defenceand marine industry opportunities by contributing 30 million toupgrades at the Cairns Marine Precinct, including 2 million towardsbusiness case development, supporting around 150 jobs. Thebusiness case will consider broader development of the precinctand expand Cairns’ capacity to carry out in-water maintenance onAustralian Defence Force and Border Force marine vessels. TheCairns Reshoring Shipbuilding Project business case will alsoinvestigate the opportunity to re-establish a ship building industryin Cairns that can assist with the manufacture of commercial vesselsrequired for servicing the region. This project would bring new jobs tothe city, potentially creating 100 jobs over the next 10 years.As part of the effort to protect the agriculture sector, the QueenslandGovernment is also investing 450,000 in grant funding to boost thecapability of local government and regional communities to manageinvasive plants and animals.For Far North Que
