Overwhelming Demand Drives Expansion
The Mareeba Shire Council has given the green light for 33 additional industrial lots after the initial stages of the industrial park completely sold out. This expansion comes as local businesses and investors demonstrate strong confidence in the Mareeba region's economic potential.
Council Mayor Angela Toppin confirmed the development approval, highlighting how the rapid uptake of industrial land reflects the area's growing commercial significance. The industrial park's success story demonstrates Mareeba's position as an emerging industrial hub in Far North Queensland.
Strategic Location and Economic Benefits
Located in strategic proximity to major transportation routes, the Mareeba Industrial Park offers prime access to the Kennedy Highway and critical infrastructure that supports manufacturing, logistics, and distribution operations. This expansion is expected to create numerous employment opportunities and stimulate further economic development throughout the shire.
The new lots will accommodate various industrial uses, from warehousing and manufacturing to service industries seeking to establish or expand their operations in the region. Council officials anticipate strong interest from both local businesses and external investors looking to capitalize on Mareeba's strategic advantages.
Future Growth and Development Timeline
With development approvals now secured, council expects construction and lot preparation to commence shortly, positioning the new sections to come online as market demand continues to strengthen. The expansion represents a significant vote of confidence in Mareeba's economic future and the broader Far North Queensland region.
Local business leaders have welcomed the announcement, noting that additional industrial land availability will help accommodate growing enterprises and attract new investment to the area. The Mareeba Industrial Park expansion aligns with broader regional development strategies aimed at strengthening the local economy and creating sustainable employment pathways.
Industry experts suggest the continued success of industrial land development in Mareeba indicates strong fundamentals supporting commercial growth in regional Queensland, with the town's strategic location and supportive council policies creating an attractive environment for business investment.
