Cairns Marine Precinct - Proposed Project Maps - July 2020

Published on Jul 13, 2020

Advance Cairns

The Cairns Port is a critical enabler of the Tropical North Queensland economy, with the region welcoming the Federal Government’s commitment to base at least four new Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPVs) in Cairns. The sustainment and maintenance of vessels in northern Australia aligns well with existing shipbuilding commitments in southern Australia, and complements Australia’s Step-Up to the Pacific foreign policy initiatives. As one of three Regional Maintenance Centres for the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), the others being Darwin and Perth, Cairns provides a national naval sustainment and maintenance hub enabling the Cairns Marine Precinct to build on its present commitments of servicing vessels from HMAS Cairns, Darwin, the United States and the Pacific Islands. A $174 million investment is being sought from the Queensland and Federal Governments to develop the precinct further and bring it up to RAN maintenance standards. These maps provide an overview of the projects being proposed for this investment.
