The Department of Main Roads and
the Port of Bundaberg have committed
funding to construct a link road
between Burnett Heads and the Port
of Bundaberg.
This link road will add to the critical mass
of roading infrastructure to support a
number of industry sectors including
tourism and which will help expand and
develop marina based activity.
This link road should be developed
post 2011 and will assist in the
development of a tourism precinct at
the Bundaberg Port Marina.
The opportunity exists to create a ferry
service from the Burnett River opposite
the CBD to the Marina at the Port of
Bundaberg
The ferry service could offer an
additional tourism experience as well
as a transport option for workers
A ferry service should assist in the
development of a tourism precinct at
the Bundaberg Port Marina.
A selection of ferry access points could
provide an attractive transport option
for tours within the region. Providing
different inter-modal forms of transport
are important to generating greater
tourism flows.
There could need to be an evaluation
of the land sites regarding ecological
and community needs, to ascertain the
most appropriate locations for building
ferry access points along the river.
Having a series of ferry access points may
assist in the development of a tourism
precinct at the Bundaberg Port Marina.
A marine development strategy to take
into consideration the growth potential
of super yachts noting the limited
infrastructure on the eastern seaboard
of Australia is required.
A super yacht strategy has significant
potential for developing a tourism
precinct at the Bundaberg Port Marina.
With significant growth forecast from
the Port of Bundaberg including
extensive coal and other resource
exports, the opportunity exists to open
up the other side of the Burnett River
which is not subject to the impact of
coal export facilities.
Study required on the impact a new
bridge may have on other road traffic
planning for the next decade.
A new bridge at a key crossing point
could have significant potential for
developing a tourism precinct at the
Bundaberg Port Marina.
