Super news on yacht industry
WE are clearing the way for a super new job-creating industry in the Whitsundays.I am confident we can clear the two major hurdles preventing the Whitsundays from becoming a major international destination for super yachts, which will boost local employment opportunities.The super yacht industry is extremely lucrative, with each yacht injecting about $50,000 per week into the local economy where it is berthed.To date, the two major hurdles have been issues about tax and environmental regulations and there is good news on both fronts.
