Thank you to Premier David Crisafulli for visiting Advance Cairns on Thursday to discuss the future prosperity of our great region.
Mr Crisafulli and Barron River MP Bree James sat down with Chair Luke Bird, CEO Jennifer Spilsbury and board directors Richard Stevenson, Ken Gouldthorp and Sharon Dawson.
It was a wonderful opportunity to talk to the Premier about the Common User Facility, the $1b Cairns Hospital expansion, Cairns Western Arterial Road, Mount Peter priority development area and building Cairns’ reputation as a high-performance sporting destination.
Advance Cairns appreciated hearing from the Premier, who knows our region so well, about all the work going on behind the scenes.
Thank you Premier for being so generous with your time. We look forward to working with you and your team more to deliver great things for our region and state.
Keeping you informed
