Mission green to re-open
THE Mission Beach village green will soon be available for the community’s use after six months.
The $19 million town centre revitalisation project has reached the six-month stage and is due for completion in the second quarter of 2025.
A Cassowary Coast Regional Council spokeswoman said since the project started in July 2024, “we’ve received an expression of positive feedback from the community and local business owners”.
“The initial clearing works have significantly opened up the area, allowing for improved visibility from Porter Promenade to the picturesque beach,” she said.
“Thanks to the favourable weather conditions and availability of resources, we’re pleased to report that (contractor) RMS has made significant progress, swiftly opening multiple work zones within the project area.
“The village green area will be clear of construction and fencing over the Christmas period for the community to enjoy freely.”
Works have included underground infrastructure services relocated, new stormwater outlets, demolition of encroaching structures, vegetation clearing and underground electricity installations.
