Have your say in the Future of Bowen Wharf survey
4 Mar 2024
Bowen community members are encouraged to have their say on the future of Bowen Wharf.
Today North Queensland Bulk Ports Corporation (NQBP) launched a community-wide survey to understand how they want to use the future Bowen Jetty.
NQBP CEO Brendan Webb said NQBP is committed to designing a public Jetty with the Bowen community, that meets their needs.
“Before the design process starts, tell us what you think is important, how you want to see the jetty used in the future, and any ideas you have for the new design,” Mr Webb said.
“This community survey will inform the Concept Design and is open from 4-31 March.
”From now until the end of June there will be extensive engagement with the Bowen community to develop a concept design for the future Bowen Jetty.“Our engagement program provides numerous avenues for the community to become involved,” Mr Webb said.
“Community members can nominate for one of the five positions to take part in workshops, come to a community session, as well as school engagements and online avenues.
“In June, we will be coming back to the community with a draft concept of the future Bowen Jetty for their feedback.
“We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a Bowen Jetty that will honour the past and serve the generations of today and tomorrow.
”The survey opens Monday 4 March and closes Sunday 31 March 2024.
