Mornings With John Mackenzie

John MacKenzie chats with Nick Trompf, Chairman of Advance Cairns, about the funding secured for vital projects in and around Cairns following the release of the 2022-2023 Australian federal budget. The major projects that were included in the budget include $50m for the CQUniversity Cairns campus, $107.5m for Cairns' water security, $210m for Kuranda Range upgrades, and $150m for the Cairns Marine Precinct. Other regional projects close to home missed out, such as the Hells Gate and Urannah dams, whilst $1.2 billion was guaranteed for the protection of the Great Barrier Reef.
