Open forum on PDR upgrade
AN open forum will be held in Weipa next month for the Department of Transport and Main Roads to give an update on Stage 2 of the Peninsula Developmental Road upgrade, and to discuss and understand future priorities for Stage 3.
The public forum will be held on 6 May from 3pm to 5pm at the Weipa Town Authority on Hibberd Drive.
Those attending can ask direct questions to the DTMR about the PDR upgrade which is jointly funded by the Australian Government and the Queensland Government.
RDA Tropical North has been working with various stakeholders since 2014 to realise both Stage 1 and Stage 2 funding for the priority regional project.
So far, State Government has committed $60 million to Stage 3 and the RDA is keen to understand priorities of the Cape communities via regional councils, business leaders and community in preparation for future budget cycles.
Contact Lainie Poon by emailing to engage@rdatropicalnorth.org.au or call 4041 1729 with any queries.
