Construction commences on Tully Multi-Use Sporting Facility

Construction of Queensland’s $7.1 million Tully Multi-Use Sporting Complex is underway with work commencing on the project’s 600-capacity grandstand.

Queensland Minister for State Development and Infrastructure Cameron Dick is impressed with Tully’s plans to revitalise sport and recreation in the region, advising that the state government “is proud to be supporting this project with a $3 million investment through our successful $365 million Building our Regions program.

“The project will see a multi-use sporting complex, complete with covered grandstand, canteen, function room and rest-room facilities, built at Tully Showgrounds”

Cassowary Coast Regional Council Mayor John Kremastos noted the project would create long-lasting benefits for the region adding “once complete, we anticipate the new complex will attract visitors to attend major regional sporting carnivals and year-round events in Tully.

“We are excited about creating a new attraction for our region.”

Over the first four BoR funding rounds, Cassowary Coast Regional Council has received $8.98 million for four infrastructure projects, supporting an estimated 63 local construction jobs.

Projects funded through Round 5 of the program will be announced in 2020.
