Mourilyan Harbor Development Proposal Voices in Innisfail

Innisfail hears a Mourilyan Harbor plan urging government action to fund a harbour rail link and port improvements. The Mourilyan Harbor Development Committee report argues a 14 mile road, rail connection, and port works will stimulate local jobs and trade, with financing via a harbor authority and sugar freight shifts. A detailed cost estimate cites £460,000 for road and harbour works and a 15 year redemption plan. The note contends the scheme would not burden ratepayers more than current tramway costs while transferring freight to a government railway system.
