Ayr Industrial Precinct Nearing Completion

The Ayr Industrial Precinct is on the brink of completion, marking a major step forward in expanding business opportunities across North Queensland.

Burdekin Shire Council Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort said the precinct will be a key driver of economic growth and investment for the region.

“Council is thrilled to see the Ayr Industrial Precinct taking shape and nearing completion,” Mayor Dalle Cort said.

“This project represents a major investment in the future of the Burdekin, providing well-located, fully serviced land that is competitively priced to attract a diverse range of businesses.”

Stage 1 lots are now available, with pricing starting from $50 per square metre plus GST, varying depending on size and location. Flexible options are offered to suit a variety of business needs.

The Mayor said Council’s support for development extends beyond delivering strategic projects like the Ayr Industrial Precinct.

“At our meeting on 25 November, Council adopted a new Economic Stimulus Policy for Development Incentives to make investment in the Burdekin even more attractive,” she said.

The policy provides a consistent and transparent process for assessing applications for reductions in fees and charges, including infrastructure charges, which can be a significant cost for developers.

“By reducing costs and creating a competitive environment for development, Council is laying the foundations for a stronger local economy for current and future generations,” Mayor Dalle Cort said.

The policy aligns with the Burdekin Shire Council Corporate Plan 2025–2030, supporting business growth, innovation, and a sustainable economy.
