Townsville Ocean Terminal
Environmental Impact Statement
Following due process and in fulfilling its responsibilities under the Development Agreement, City Pacific Limited in conjunction with the Queensland State Government has prepared an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) with the input of a range of specialist consultants. This statement has been prepared to ensure that impacts on the environment, local community and the Port of Townsville are minimised.
The project comprises:
- a dedicated cruise/military terminal and wharf to receive cruise ships and naval vessels, located on the western breakwater adjacent to the Port of Townsville.
- reclamation of land under tidal water for an integrated residential and commercial development comprising approximately 700 single and multistorey dwellings.
- artificial waterways and marina facilities for general recreational vessels and visiting super-yachts.
- new foreshore public open space areas including a park to be established at the northern end of the development.
The Coordinator-General has declared the Townsville Ocean Terminal Project to be a project of State Significance requiring an EIS under Section 26(1)(a) of the State Development and Public Works Organisation Act 1971 (Qld). The Australian Government has determined that the project constitutes a controlled action pursuant to the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth).
The Townsville Ocean Terminal Project is part of an overall redevelopment of the city breakwater area and is proceeding in accordance with contractual arrangements between the Queensland Government and the developers.
The EIS document was available for public review and submissions to the Coordinator-General from 1 December 2007. The final date for submissions was 1 February 2008.
