Weddings and other events will soon be able to take advantage of the picturesque scenery of Flying Fish Point with a new project soon to commence.

Councillor Nick Pervan said that work is set to begin on constructing a viewing platform at parklands, located next to the Flying Fish Point boat ramp.

“Located where the sea meets the Johnstone River, the area provides the perfect location for weddings and other events to be held.

“This low maintenance platform will be constructed as a raised wooden deck about 300 millimetres above adjacent level. The platform will be built at six by three metres to complement the current environment, with no trees removed and minor trimming undertaken to increase the panoramic views.

“Council has engaged a local business to deliver this project, with works expected to commence in early August. Works should take about three weeks to finish, weather and site conditions permitting, and the immediate area will remain open during works.”

Interested members of the community can apply for a permit to utilise the area for their event by contacting Council on 1300 763 900 or email enquiries@ccrc.qld.gov.au.

Alternatively, you can find out more information on facilities available for hire by visiting Community Venues For Hire – Cassowary Coast Regional Council.

This project was funded as part of the Australian Government’s $3 billion Local Roads and Community Infrastructure (LRCI) Program.
