Current FNQ Regional Plan (2009-2031) vision for Mission Beach

Read the current Regional Plan vision for Mission Beach

​"In the Mission Beach area, urban development is contributing to significant ongoing decline of the small cassowary population. Current urban impacts upon cassowaries and their habitat—especially increasing losses due to road traffic and dog attacks—are not believed to be sustainable. These areas are not considered appropriate for high-density urban development." (Far North Queensland Regional Plan 2009–2031)
