Creation of around 300 full time equivalent jobs on the Island once operational plus additional employment created elsewhere in the region through flow-on or multiplier effects;

Adding approximately $140 million (gross) during operations to the Mackay Region’s Gross Regional Product;

A substantial increase in total visitor days in the regional Mackay area, generating income and business for not only the local area but also companies that offer commercial flights to the area;

Broadening of the regional Mackay economy through improved elevation of regional based tourism as an industry, through “destination” marketing and thus reducing the current reliance on the mining and agricultural industries;

Significant increases in local and state government revenue through rates, property transaction duties, land tax and payroll tax.
