WBBROC has been successful in influencing the State Government and advancing access to and increased use of the Port of Bundaberg. This includes:
- Gaining State Government funding for a gas pipeline to the Port, to support new industries.
- Declaration of the Port as a State Development Area, helping to expedite development.
A report has now been released that calls on the Federal and State Governments to fund a number of strategic infrastructure investments that will deliver economic prosperity to the Wide Bay Burnett region. The Wide Bay Burnett is well positioned to capitalise on a number of global megatrends, trends that if leveraged through greater infrastructure investment will release inter-generational economic benefits for the region. This report clearly details how to unlock this potential.
